Reflectance and emittance spectroscopy are increasingly important tools in remote sensing
and have been employed in most recent planetary spacecraft missions. They are primarily …

In this paper we discuss the connection between the microstructure of a heterogeneous thin
film and its macroscopic dielectric response ε. Effective medium theory is developed from a …

The Maxwell Garnett and Bruggeman effective medium theories are derived for the average
dielectric permeability of heterogeneous materials from a unified theoretical approach. It …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses several composites or granular or porous
materials that display inhomogeneity on a macroscopic scale. In such materials, there are …

Complex permeability spectra μ*= μ′− iμ ″for two types of spinel ferrites (Ni–Zn ferrite and
Mn–Zn ferrite) and their composite materials have been investigated. The contribution of …

The Mie theory is used to find the in situ electric dipole polarizability of a sphere of arbitrary
size and material. This size-dependent polarizability, together with the Clausius-Mossotti …

It is increasingly being recognized that new applications for materials require functions and
properties that are not achievable with monolithic materials. The combination of dissimilar …

Co‐Al2O3 composite films were produced by electron‐beam coevaporation in a system with
elaborate process control. The deposits were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy …
