Electromagnetic interaction of chiral particles in three-dimensional arrays

The problem of electromagnetic mutual coupling of scatterers in the three-d imensional regular infinite arrays is considered. The arrays are infinite i n the XY-coordinate plane and finite along the OZ-axis, their volume cells have rectangular shape. Each scatterer can be described by two coupled dipo les (electric and magnetic) having the same direction, i.e., the scatterers are uniaxial chiral particles. The field interaction of these objects can be an important factor in the theory of bianisotropic composite media and a lso concerns the antenna array theory. A simple and rigorous model of such an interaction is developed.
