Clausius-Mossotti-Type relation for planar monolayers

Journal Article · · Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics
The dielectric properties of a quasi-two-dimensional molecular monolayer are analyzed. The dielectric function of the monolayer is expressed in terms of molecular polarizability and monolayer characteristics. The expression is analogous to the well-known Clausius-Mossotti equation for three-dimensional systems. The response of the monolayer to an external field is calculated. The case of a planar array of nanoparticles is also considered. The solution is obtained in the framework of a local-field theory.
