Homogenization of nanowire-based composites with anisotropic unit-cell and layered substructure
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 March 2016
Abstract
We analyze the optical properties of composite materials that combine nanowire and nanolayer platforms. We revisit effective-medium theory (EMT) description of wire materials with high filling fraction positioned in anisotropic unit cells and present a simple numerical technique to extend Maxwell–Garnett formalism in this limit. We also demonstrate that the resulting EMT can be combined with transfer-matrix technique to adequately describe photonic band gap behavior, previously observed in epitaxially grown semiconductor multilayer nanowires.
