Abstract

We show that rod-like particulates structured from interleaving layers of metal and insulator (or semiconductor) can exhibit novel infrared and far-infrared characteristics that are tunable through the variation of their geometric parameters. In particular, a dispersion of these particles can be made to absorb strongly at any prescribed far-infrared frequency by controlling their transverse dimensions and insulator fractions.
