Complex waves on periodic arrays of lossy and lossless permeable spheres: 2. Numerical results

This is the second part of a two-part series dealing with complex dipolar waves propagating along the axes of 1D, 2D and 3D infinite periodic arrays of small lossless and lossy permeable spheres. Shore and Yaghjian (2012) provide the theory of the complex waves and the dispersion (k–β) equations for their propagation constants. In this paper we present and discuss representative dispersion diagrams for arrays of magnetodielectric spheres (spheres with appreciable permittivity and permeability), diamond spheres, and silver nanospheres.
