研究目的
To study how well the effective medium theories can describe the light interaction with mesocrystals, focusing on mesocrystals with homogeneous optical response composed of optically isotropic materials.
研究成果
The Maxwell-Garnett effective medium approximation was able to match the extinction cross section obtained by the T-matrix method with an accuracy of around 2%, making it suitable for describing the optical properties of dense mesocrystalline media. The study provides a recipe for obtaining effective dielectric constants of mesocrystals that can be used with any electromagnetic simulation software.
研究不足
The study is limited to mesocrystals with homogeneous optical response, implying isotropic refractive index of primary particles and cubic symmetry in their arrangement. The computational approach is constrained by the size of structures that can be handled by available computing resources.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs the superposition T-matrix method to simulate light interaction with mesocrystalline structures and compares these results with those obtained from effective medium theories (Maxwell-Garnett, Bruggeman, and volume averaging).
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Mesocrystals are represented by dense aggregates of spherical nanocrystals arranged in a face-centered-cubic (fcc) lattice. The optical properties of ZnO and water are used as input parameters.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The study uses computational tools for electromagnetic simulations, specifically MATLAB for implementing the Lorenz-Mie theory and the T-matrix method.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The study involves computing the extinction cross sections of mesocrystalline particles using the T-matrix method and comparing these with results from effective medium theories applied to equivalent volume spheres.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The deviation between the T-matrix results and the effective medium approximations is quantified to assess the accuracy of the latter.
