Minkowski domain walls are being actively considered in gravitation theory. They may form during a vacuum phase transition, or as a result of braneworld collision. Despite having interesting physical properties, Minkowski domain walls had remained in the theoretical domain only since their first introduction a few decades ago. Here we demonstrate how to make an electromagnetic analogue of a Minkowski domain wall using hyperbolic metamaterials. We analyze electromagnetic field behavior at the wall, and present a simple experimental model of “Minkowski domain wall” formation due to “collision” of two Minkowski spaces.
► We present a metamaterial system which emulates Minkowski domain walls.
► The domain wall may support surface wave propagation.
► Plasmonic metamaterial is used in experimental demonstration of the domain wall.
