Size–Dependent Bruggeman Approach for Dielectric–Magnetic Composite Materials
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract Expressions arising from the Bruggeman approach for the homogenization of dielectric–magnetic composite materials, without ignoring the sizes of the spherical particles, are presented. These expressions exhibit the proper limit behavior. The incorporation of size dependence is directly responsible for the emergence of dielectric–magnetic coupling in the estimated relative permittivity and permeability of the homogenized composite material.

On the application of homogenization formalisms to active dielectric composite materials
The Maxwell Garnett and Bruggeman formalisms were applied to estimate the effective permittivity dyadic of active dielectric composite materials. The active nature of the homogenized composite materials (HCMs) arises from one of the component materials which takes the form of InAs/GaAs quantum dots. Provided that the real parts of the permittivities of the component materials have the same sign...
متن کاملAnisotropic enhancement of group velocity in a homogenized dielectric composite medium
Under certain circumstances, the group velocity in a homogenized composite medium (HCM) can exceed the group velocity in its component material phases. We explore this phenomenon for a uniaxial dielectric HCM comprising isotropic component material phases distributed as oriented spheroidal particles. The theoretical approach is based upon the Bruggeman homogenization formalism. Enhancement in g...
متن کاملMultiscale Phenomena in Bruggeman Composites
Mechanical, magnetic, and transport properties of arbitrary inhomogeneous composites are investigated by a Bruggeman-type mean-field approach. The theory yields materials parameters as functions of the volume fractions, geometries, and materials constants of the phases. Each system is described by a single response parameter g, which is equal to the percolation threshold of the composite. For m...
متن کاملNegative Phase Velocity in Isotropic Dielectric–magnetic Mediums via Homogenization
ABSTRACT: We report on a strategy for achieving negative phase velocity (NPV) in a homogenized composite medium (HCM) conceptualized using the Bruggeman formalism. The constituent material phases of the HCM do not support NPV propagation. The HCM and its constituent phases are isotropic dielectric–magnetic mediums; the real parts of their permittivities/permeabilities are negative–valued wherea...
متن کاملEnhanced group velocity in metamaterials
The Bruggeman formalism is implemented to estimate the refractive index of an isotropic, dielectric, homogenized composite medium (HCM). Invoking the well–known Hashin– Shtrikman bounds, we demonstrate that the group velocity in certain HCMs can exceed the group velocities in their component materials. Such HCMs should therefore be considered as metamaterials. PACS numbers: 41.20.Jb, 42.25.Dd, ...
