Reflection based analysis has been used in previous research for various objectives. Materials classification is one of them. Basically, each material consists two types reflections: surface and sub-surface. To separate these reflections, polarized light could be applied. Previously, multi-reflections characteristics were analyzed using to classify objects such as between metals non-metals. How...

The electrostatic polarizability for both vertical and horizontal polarization of two conjoined half-cylinders partly buried in a substrate is derived in an analytical closed-form expression. Using the derived analytical polarizabilities we analyze the localized surface plasmon resonances of three important metal nanowire configurations: (1) a half-cylinder, (2) a half-cylinder on a substrate, ...
