Vladimir R. Tuz Is term 'nihility' the same as epsilon-near-zero and mu-near-zero states?
Akhlesh Lakhtakia introduced term nihility to determine a distinctive exotic state of a hypothetical lossless medium whose material parameters happen to be zero quantities [https://www.researchgate.net/publication/2167091_A...ity_and_Negative_Permeability].
On the other hand the theory of epsilon-near-zero and mu-near-zero materials is now widely used which seems to be fundamentally identical with the conception of nihility media.
Is there any principal differences in these conceptions?
Other question is: Is it correct to use term 'nihility' when describing resonant states in surface waves?
