  Using interplay between surface plasmons and metamaterials, we propose a new
technique for novel metamaterial designs. We show that surface plasmons
existing on thin metal surfaces can be used to "drive" non-resonant structures
in their vicinity to provide new types of electric and magnetic resonators.
These resonators strictly adhere to surface plasmon dispersion of the host
metal film. The operating frequency of the resultant metamaterials can be
scaled to extremely high frequencies, otherwise not possible with conventional
split-ring-resonator-based designs. Our approach opens new possibilities for
theory and experiment in the interface of plasmonics and metamaterials to
harvest many potential applications of both fields combined.
