Applications of Effective Medium Theories in the Terahertz Regime
Open accessAbstract
In this chapter a short introduction into a selection of quasi static effective medium theories was presented. Their potential and restrictions were illuminated by a choice of representative application scenarios ranging from polymeric compounds to biological samples. However, the relatively long wavelengths of the terahertz waves enables for a wide applicability within this frequency range without the necessity of including volumetric scattering effects in the calculations. Therefore, an accurate analytical modelling of various problems can be achieved utilizing such EMTs. The Table 2 gives a short overview of exemplary application scenarios and the EMTs of choice. Application Scenario Mixtures with high contrast in permittivity, spherical particles Mixtures with high contrast in permittivity, ellipsoidal particles Mixtures with low contrast in permittivity, irregular or unknown shaped particles Mixtures of powders, porous pellets Mixtures consisting of isotropic components EMT of choice EB EB, PvS LLL, CRI LLL, CRI EB, PvS

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.
