2-D(Two-dimensional) isotropic negative refractive
index (NRI) is explicitly realized via the orthogonal
signal and coupling standing-wave fields coupling the Ntype
four-level atomic system. Under some key parameters
of the dense vapour media, the atomic system exhibits
isotropic NRI with simultaneous negative permittivity
and permeability (i.e. left-handedness) in the 2-D x-y
plane. Compared with other 2-D NRI schemes, the coherent
atomic vapour media in our scheme may be an ideal
2-D isotropic NRI candidate and has some potential advantages,
significance or applications in the further investigation.
