Abstract

The effective dielectric function ${\ensuremath{\epsilon}}_{e}$ for a medium of anisotropic inclusions embedded in an isotropic host is calculated using the Maxwell Garnett approximation. For uniaxial inclusions, ${\ensuremath{\epsilon}}_{e}$ depends on how well the inclusions are aligned. We apply this approximation to study ${\ensuremath{\epsilon}}_{e}$ for a model of quasi-one-dimensional organic polymers. The polymer is assumed to be made up of small single crystals embedded in an isotropic host of randomly oriented polymer chains. The host dielectric function is calculated using the effective-medium approximation (EMA). The resulting frequency-dependent ${\ensuremath{\epsilon}}_{e}(\ensuremath{\omega})$ closely resembles experiment. Specifically, $\mathrm{Re}{\ensuremath{\epsilon}}_{e}(\ensuremath{\omega})$ is negative over a wide frequency range, while $\mathrm{Im}{\ensuremath{\epsilon}}_{e}(\ensuremath{\omega})$ exhibits a broad ``surface plasmon'' band at low frequencies, which results from localized electronic excitations within the crystallites. If the host is above the conductivity percolation threshold, $\mathrm{Im}{\ensuremath{\epsilon}}_{e}(\ensuremath{\omega})$ has a low-frequency Drude peak in addition to the surface plasmon band, and $\mathrm{Re}{\ensuremath{\epsilon}}_{e}(\ensuremath{\omega})$ is negative over an even wider frequency range. We also calculate the cubic nonlinear susceptibility ${\ensuremath{\chi}}_{e}(\ensuremath{\omega})$ of the polymer, using a nonlinear EMA. At certain frequencies, ${\ensuremath{\chi}}_{e}(\ensuremath{\omega})$ is found to be strongly enhanced above that of the corresponding single crystals. Our results suggest that the electromagnetic properties of conducting polymers can be understood by viewing the material as randomly inhomogeneous on a small scale such that the quasistatic limit is applicable.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
