Spectral properties of plasmon resonances in a random impedance network model of binary nanocomposites
One of the methods for the description of plasmon resonances in disordered metal–dielectric nanocomposites represents an initial composite as an electric network in the form of a lattice whose bonds are randomly arranged complex impedances.

Zusammenfassung: | One of the methods for the description of plasmon resonances in disordered metal–dielectric nanocomposites represents an initial composite as an electric network in the form of a lattice whose bonds are randomly arranged complex impedances. In this work, a general method is used to describe resonances in binary networks consisting of two types of impedances, which are arbitrary functions of the frequency [Th. Jonckheere and J.M.
