A three-dimensional lattice of micron-scale coated spheres is shown to have an isotropic negative index of refraction at infrared frequencies. The materials used are entirely non-magnetic. The Mie scattering theory of the constituent spheres is used in the effective medium theory. The physical mechanisms and procedures are presented in the design of a negative effective permeability with solid polaritonic spheres, as well as a negative effective permittivity with solid Drude spheres. It is then shown that a collection of polaritonic spheres coated with a thin layer of Drude material can exhibit a negative index of refraction at infrared frequencies. Comparison with numerical photonic band structure calculations verifies the theory.
