This short appendix summarizes some of the properties used in this work as well as measurements of permittivity performed for the purpose of ascertaining published values. In some cases, the permittivity was calculated from simulations. Since the resonant frequency of the actual material was measured and given the dimensions of the medium, a simple process of iteration on the permittivity in the simulation until the simulated resonant frequency matched the measured resonant frequency provided the correct value for the material. In other cases, simulations were performed to ascertain the exact value of permittivity.
