Abstract
Composite materials formed by dispersing small size metal or semiconductor particles in a transparent dielectric, glass, or liquid exhibit striking optical properties.1 If the size of the particles is much smaller than the optical wavelength and penetration depth and their fractional volume concentration p ≪ 1, the optical properties of these materials are well accounted for by the MaxwellGarnett theory1 which leads.
