On the dielectric function tuning of random metal-dielectric nanocomposites for metamaterial applications.
The potential of random metal-dielectric nanocomposites as constituent elements of metamaterial structures is explored. Classical effective medium theories indicate that these composites can provide a tunable negative dielectric function with small absorption losses. However, the tuning potential of real random composites is significantly lower than the one predicted by classical theories, due ...
متن کاملInfluence of randomness on the effective dielectric function of metal-dielectric composites for metamaterial purposes
The effective dielectric function of metal-dielectric composites consisting of spherical particles randomly distributed in a matrix is numerically investigated. The study, based on the spectral density theory, shows that local field fluctuations may critically affect the composite performance for metamaterial applications. It appears that randomness significantly modifies the effective dielectr...
متن کاملNegative index metamaterials based on metal-dielectric nanocomposites for imaging applications
Negative index metamaterials are demonstrated based on metal-dielectric nanocomposites prepared using a versatile bottom-up nanofabrication approach. The method involves the incorporation of vertically aligned metal nanowires such as Au and Ag inside dielectric aluminum oxide nanotemplates. Optical absorbance measurements show resonance peaks corresponding to the transverse and longitudinal sur...
متن کاملNonlinear optics of random metal-dielectric films
Surface-enhanced optical nonlinearities are studied in a semicontinuous film consisting of metal granules randomly distributed on an insulating substrate. The local fields are very inhomogeneous in such films and consist of strongly localized sharp peaks. In peaks ~‘‘hot’’ spots!, the local fields exceed the applied field by several orders of magnitudes resulting in giant enhancements of the op...
متن کاملTunable Dielectric Properties of Ferrite-Dielectric Based Metamaterial
A ferrite-dielectric metamaterial composed of dielectric and ferrite cuboids has been investigated by experiments and simulations. By interacting with the electromagnetic wave, the Mie resonance can take place in the dielectric cuboids and the ferromagnetic precession will appear in the ferrite cuboids. The magnetic field distributions show the electric Mie resonance of the dielectric cuboids c...
