Fd. Ge et al., QUANTITATIVE STUDY OF EFFECTIVE PARAMETERS OF CHIRAL COMPOSITE-MATERIAL, International journal of infrared and millimeter waves, 17(8), 1996, pp. 1457-1463
The effective parameters of chiral composite are studied quantitativel
y using a model, say, chiral spheres immersed in a nonchiral host medi
um. The effects of the volume fraction of the chiral phase, f, the par
ameters of the host medium, epsilon and mu, on the effective propertie
s of the composite are calculated. As an example, the microwave reflec
tion properties of a chiral composite coating is compared with that of
its host medium coating.
