This paper discusses the fundamental features of the dielectric-dependent screened exchange potential approach for organic molecules and photocell materials. The energy difference (gap) between the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) is a key factor when designing organic photocell materials. The magnitude of this energy gap strongly depe...

Application of π-multilayer technology is extended to high extinction coefficient materials, which is introduced into metal-dielectric filter design. Metal materials often have high extinction coefficients in far ultraviolet (FUV) region, so optical thickness of metal materials should be smaller than that of the dielectric material. A broadband FUV filter of 9-layer non-periodic Al/MgF2 multila...

The dependence of the metal gate work function on the underlying gate dielectric in advanced metal-oxide-semiconductor ~MOS! gate stacks was explored. Metal work functions on high-k dielectrics are observed to differ appreciably from their values on SiO2 or in vacuum. We applied the interface dipole theory to the interface between the gate and the gate dielectric of a MOS transistor and obtaine...

Brun., 2008, LVI, No. 5, pp. 125–132 The paper introduces the review of the present state of art in the measurement of the interaction of electromagnetic waves with diff erent kinds of materials. It is analysis of the possibilities of the measurement of the interaction of high frequen...

The Submillimeter Technology Laboratory(STL) at the University of Massachusetts Lowell has developed a methodology of tailoring the complex refractive index for artificial dielectrics at terahertz frequencies. A wide range of precisely controlled optical properties have been achieved for materials such as vinyl acetate, silicone, polyethylene and epoxy resin when combined with powdered loading ...

This paper addresses the problem of dielectric breakdown in composite materials. The dielectric breakdown model was generalized to describe dielectric breakdown patterns in conductor-loaded composites. Conducting particles are distributed at random in the insulating matrix, and the dielectric breakdown propagates according to new rules to take into account electrical properties and particle siz...

We present computer simulation data for the effective permittivity ~in the quasistatic limit! of a system composed of discrete inhomogeneities of permittivity e1 , embedded in a three-dimensional homogeneous matrix of permittivity e2 . The primary purpose of this paper is to study the related issue of the effect of the geometric shape of the components on the dielectric properties of the medium...
