We propose here a helpful algorithm giving rise for investigation of basic features of complex conductivity dependent SPPs at the interface separating nanocomposite and hypercrystal. The main goal of the work is to investigate dispersion of the SPPs propagating at the boundary separating two different media. Aiming to achieve the aforementioned goal that the effective Maxwell Garnett model is used. It is demonstrated that the SPPs dispersive properties are dramatically affected by the material conductivity. Correspondingly, the filling ratio of the nanoparticles in the composite and their dielectric properties also allow one to engineer characteristics of the SPPs. Having a deep insight into the conductivity dependent functions, we concluded, on their behavior for the case of hyp...

Acoustic metamaterials and plasmonic structures possess a wide variety of exceptional physical features. These include effective negative properties, band gaps, negative refraction, etc. In doing so, the acoustic behaviour of conventional substances is extended. Acoustic metamaterials are considered as the periodic composites with effective parameters that might be engineered with the aim to dramatically control the propagation of supported waves. Homogenization of the system under consideration should be performed to seek the calculation of metamaterial permittivity. The dispersion behaviour of surface waves propagating from the boundary of a nanocomposite composed of semiconductor enclosures that are systematically distributed in a transparent ma...

Two different cases have been suggested for the consideration: the first one uses hollow-core metamaterial interface, while the other involves metallic nanowire metamaterial interface. It has been outlined, that the use of nanowire metamaterial interface allows for stretching the frequency range of surface wave existence from 500 THz (600 nm) to approximately 1000 THz (300 nm). Moreover, the nanowire metamaterial interface demonstrates better field confinement.
