The Maxwell-Garnett EMA represents heterogeneous mixtures in which small amounts of one (or two) material are in a matrix of the other material. The Bruggeman approximation, which is the most commonly used, extends to represent materials which span the entire range of composition.

Aug 15, 2000· A few versions of effective medium theories that have been suggested as size dependent extensions of the Maxwell-Garnett theory are compared. The degree to which the different theories satisfy a physical consistency criterion is evaluated. The inapplicability of the extended Maxwell-Garnett theories to heating rate calculations is discussed.
It does not require any computation of underlying concentration parameters, anisotropy, or effective optical constants along the lines of Bruggeman or Maxwell‐Garnett models as for the fitting of ellipsometric data, which cannot always accurately model blends as a single layer. The method can also be applied to purely transparent layers, or ...
We exploit the anisotropic plasmonic behavior of gold nanorods (AuNRs) to obtain a waveguide with a nonlinear coefficient dependent on both the frequency and polarization of incident light. The optical properties of the waveguide are described by an extension of the Maxwell Garnett model to nonlinear optics and anisotropic nanoparticles. Then, we perform a study of modulation instability (MI ...
The Maxwell‐Garnett theory is generally used to describe the optical behavior of aggregated metallic films. This theory is, however, restricted to ultrafine particles whose main dimension can be considered very small compared to that of the wavelength. With particle dimensions in experiments generally larger than 10 nm, this approach is no longer valid for many metals.
Two of the most popular effective medium theories are the so- called Maxwell-Garnett (MG) theory [25,26] and its general- ization, the extended Maxwell-Garnett (EMG) theory [27, 28]. In the former ...
A. Maxwell-Garnett (MG) and Maxwell-Garnett Mie theories (MGM) In dipolar approximation, the effective dielectric function ε eff of the composite medium which consists of spherical in-clusions embedded in a host matrix is related to the polar-izability α of the inclusions through the Clausius-Mossotti relation:9,10 ε eff −ε m ε eff +2ε ...

The required quasi-static extension of the Maxwell–Garnett formula (1), also known as extended Maxwell–Garnett formula, can be obtained by Mie theory [20, 21], eff = h x3 −3i fTE 1 x3 + 3 2 i fT E 1, (2) where TE 1 is theelectric-dipole component of the scattering T-matrix of a single sphere.

This paper develops an analytical effective medium theory (EMT) equation for calculating the effective conductivity of a mixture based on Maxwell's and Maxwell-Garnett's theories, extended to higher volume fractions using Bruggeman's unsymmetrical treatment (BUT), with a long term goal of extending the treatment to mixtures more representative of real materials in order to calculate their ...

In this paper, an analytical homogenization strategy is proposed to estimate the EC losses in SMC under standard operating conditions for electrical machines by defining an equivalent conductivity based on a loss equivalence.
Mar 01, 1994· Comparison has been made with the similar extension of the Maxwell-Garnett formula. In both extensions, the dielectric inclusion has been represented solely by an electric dipole, but the Mossotti-Clausius polarizability has been replaced by one that takes into better account the singularity behavior of the free space dyadic Green's function.

Extension of the Maxwell-Garnett rule We now propose to blend these classical limiting cases (2D and 3D) together so as to provide a mixing rule able to treat continuously the transition between them, since intermediate situations are of high practical importance. As a first step, as illustrated in Fig. 1-(c), because the interaction with the ...
can thus be considered an extension, as well as a correction, of Lichtenecker's formula. Maxwell Garnett Mixing Rule First presented in [Maxwell Garnett, 1904; Maxwell Garnett, 1905], the two-phase Maxwell Garnett formula was developed to determine the optical properties of a particular glass substance that contained
The films' average dielectric function is derivable from a Maxwell-Garnett model in which randomly oriented nanograins with anatase short-range atomic order are embedded in a conducting background.
Schematic diagrams showing the difference between the microstructures of (a) the Maxwell–Garnett model and (b) the Textural model. In the Textural model, the new background (with conductivity of σ CRI) is described by the complex refractive index (CRI) mixing law while the host material (with conductivity of σ h) in the Maxwell–Garnett model is now assumed as an inclusion also.

The Bergman–Milton bounds provide limits on the effective permittivity of a composite material comprising two isotropic dielectric materials. These provide tight bounds for composites arising from many conventional materials. We reconsider the Bergman–Milton bounds in light of the recent emergence of metamaterials, in which unconventional parameter ranges for relative permittivities are ...

In this paper, we report a preliminary theoretical study on optical fibers with fine material inclusions whose geometrical inhomogeneity is almost indistinguishable by the operating wavelength.We refer to such fibers as metamaterial optical fibers, which can conceptually be considered as an extension from the previously much publicized microstructured optical fibers.
We show that dielectric spheres can be cloaked by a shell of amorphously arranged metallic nanoparticles. The shell represents an artificial medium with tunable effective properties that can be adjusted such that the scattered signals of shell and sphere almost cancel each other. We provide an analytical model for the cloak design and prove numerically that the cloak operates as desired. We ...
