The dielectric functions of composite moterials consisting of heelectron-type metal particles CAg or Cu) and a dielectric host material with e, = 1.0, 2.99 or 6.0 a~ calculated using the Maxwell-Cmett model. These function present an anomalous region when the interband bansitions of the metal particles occur at frequencies above the resonance frequency (7xh = -em), In this case the Lorenb osallator model is used to malyse the optical behaviour of the composite material. The Lorentz parmeters are calculated and discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations鈥揷itations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
