Abstract

Statistical properties of electrons in metals are taken into consideration to describe the microscopic motion of electrons. Assuming degenerate electron gas in metal, we introduce the Boltzmann kinetic equation to supplement Maxwell´s equations. The solution of these equations clearly shows the resonant behavior of electronic response to an external electromagnetic field. We demonstrate the approach for planar and circular geometries of the metamolecules.
