We consider meta materials made from a two-dimensional dielectric rod-typephotonic crystal. The magnetic response is studied within the recentlydeveloped homogenization theory and we in particular study the effects oftopology and inhomogeneous broadening. While topology itself mainly affects theMie resonance frequency we find that the dispersion in the topological radius Rof the dielectric rods may lead to significant inhomogeneous broadening andsuppression of the negative-mu phenomena for dR/R0 >> epsilon''/epsilon', withepsilon=epsilon'+i*epsilon'' being the relative dielectric function of therods.Comment: 13 pages including 1 table and 5 figure
