各向同性手征材料平面界面导行的电磁表面波

Electromagnetic surface waves guided by the planar interface of isotropic chiral materials

Maimoona Naheed, Muhammad Faryad, Tom G. Mackay

摘要:

通过数值求解正则边值问题,研究了电磁表面波在两种各向同性手征材料($\calA$和$\calB$)平面界面上的传播.将各向同性手性材料$\calB$建模为均质化复合材料,该均质化复合材料由各向同性手性组分材料和各向同性非手性、双手性组分材料的均质化产生,所述各向同性非手性、双手性组分材料的特征在于相对介电常数$\eps_a^\calB$。表面波的性质的变化进行了探讨的体积分数$f_a^\calB$的非手性组分材料的变化。表面波仅在$f_a^\calB$的特定范围内受支持;在这些范围内,在每个$f_a^\calB$值处仅支持一个表面波,其特征在于其相对波数$q$。对于$\mbox{Re} \lec \eps_a^\calB \ric > 0 $,随着$\left| \mbox{Im} \lec \eps_a^\calB \ric \right|$增加,表面波支持更大范围的$f_a^\calB$和$\left| \mbox{Im} \lec q \ric \right|$,因为这些表面波增加。对于$\mbox{Re} \lec \eps_a^\calB \ric < 0 $,随着$ \mbox{Im} \lec \eps_a^\calB \ric $增加,支持表面波传播的$f_a^\calB$的范围几乎不变,但是这些表面波的$ \mbox{Im} \lec q \ric $减小。当$\mbox{Re} \lec \eps_a^\calB \ric < 0 $时支持的表面波可以被认为类似于表面等离子体激元极化激元波,但是当$\mbox{Re} \lec \eps_a^\calB \ric > 0 $时支持的表面波可能不是。

英文摘要:

The propagation of electromagnetic surface waves guided by the planar interface of two isotropic chiral materials, namely materials $\calA$ and $\calB$, was investigated by numerically solving the associated canonical boundary-value problem. Isotropic chiral material $\calB$ was modeled as a homogenized composite material, arising from the homogenization of an isotropic chiral component material and an isotropic achiral, nonmagnetic, component material characterized by the relative permittivity $\eps_a^\calB$. Changes in the nature of the surface waves were explored as the volume fraction $f_a^\calB$ of the achiral component material varied. Surface waves are supported only for certain ranges of $f_a^\calB$; within these ranges only one surface wave, characterized by its relative wavenumber $q$, is supported at each value of $f_a^\calB$. For $\mbox{Re} \lec \eps_a^\calB \ric > 0 $, as $\left| \mbox{Im} \lec \eps_a^\calB \ric \right|$ increases surface waves are supported for larger ranges of $f_a^\calB$ and $\left| \mbox{Im} \lec q \ric \right|$ for these surface waves increases. For $\mbox{Re} \lec \eps_a^\calB \ric < 0 $, as $ \mbox{Im} \lec \eps_a^\calB \ric $ increases the ranges of $f_a^\calB$ that support surface-wave propagation are almost unchanged but $ \mbox{Im} \lec q \ric $ for these surface waves decreases. The surface waves supported when $\mbox{Re} \lec \eps_a^\calB \ric < 0 $ may be regarded as akin to surface-plasmon-polariton waves, but those supported for when $\mbox{Re} \lec \eps_a^\calB \ric > 0 $ may not.
