这里收集一些电磁斗篷文献。
实验上第一次实现电磁斗篷的文章,发表在Science上,是
Metamaterial Electromagnetic Cloak at Microwave Frequencies
摘要:
A recently published theory has suggested that a cloak of invisibility is in principle possible, at least over a narrow frequency band. We describe here the first practical realization of such a cloak; in our demonstration, a copper cylinder was “hidden” inside a cloak constructed according to the previous theoretical prescription. The cloak was constructed with the use of artificially structured metamaterials, designed for operation over a band of microwave frequencies. The cloak decreased scattering from the hidden object while at the same time reducing its shadow, so that the cloak and object combined began to resemble empty space.

Review of Possible Approaches to Electromagnetic Cloaking of Objects
从这个综述我们得知,研究隐形材料可以追溯到70年代。隐形,或不可见,不同于潜行(stealth),后者将反射减弱到最小,如美国的潜行飞机。
