Optical properties of small-particle composites

Conference · · AIP (Am. Inst. Phys.) Conf. Proc.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6652061
A new theory for the effective dielectric constant of a small-particle composite system includes broadening of single-particle resonances by dipolar interactions and percolation at high particle density. Comparisons are made with effective medium theory, Maxwell-Garnett theory, resistor network models, and with optical measurements on metallic and dielectric composites.
