Abstract:

Self-assembled metamaterials attract considerable interest as they promise to make isotropic bulk metamaterials available at low costs. The optical response of self-assembled metamaterials is derived predominantly from the response of its individual constituents, i.e., the meta-atoms. Beyond effective properties, primary experimentally observable quantities, such as specific cross-sections, are at the focus of interest as they are frequently considered when exploiting metamaterials in specific applications. This posses the challenge of predicting these observable quantities for a diluted ensemble of randomly oriented meta-atoms. Thus far, this has been achieved by either averaging the optical response of the meta-atom across all possible incident fields or by restricting the consideration to only an electric and magnetic dipolar response. This, however, is either time-consuming or imposes an unnecessary limitation. Here, we solve this problem by deriving and presenting explicit expressions for experimentally observable quantities of metamaterials made from randomly arranged and oriented meta-atoms characterized by their T-matrix.
