Abstract: If a body of dielectric material is coated by a plasmonic structure of negative dielectric constant with nonzero loss parameter, then cloaking by anomalous localized resonance (CALR) may occur as the loss parameter tends to zero. The aim of this paper is to investigate this phenomenon in two and three dimensions when the coated structure is radial, and the core, shell and matrix are isotropic materials. In two dimensions, we show that if the real part of the permittivity of the shell is -1 (under the assumption that the permittivity of the background is 1), then CALR takes place. If it is different from -1, then CALR does not occur. In three dimensions, we show that CALR does not occur. The analysis of this paper reveals that occurrence of CALR is determined by the eigenvalue distribution of the Neumann-Poincar'e-type operator associated with the structure.


The aim of this paper is to develop a general method, based on potential theory, for studying cloaking due to anomalous localized resonance. Using layer potential techniques, the authors deduce the problem to a singularly perturbed system of integral equations. The system is non-self-adjoint. By a symmetrization technique the solution is expressed in terms of the eigenfunctions of a self-adjoint operator. The symmetrization is based on a generalization of a Calderón identity to the system of integral equations under consideration and a general theorem of symmetrization of non-self-adjoint operators obtained recently by Khavinson.
