“…Numerous simulations confirmed the validity of the mixture formulas for regular structures when the mixtures were dilute [55,321,322,323,22,23,324,325,32,231,327,363]. For dilute random mixture the results were also similar [371,23,17] emphasizing the validity of the effective medium approximations at low inclusion concentrations.…”

A review of current state of understanding of dielectric mixture properties and approaches to use numerical calculations for their modeling are presented. It is shown that interfacial polarization can yield different non-Debye dielectric responses depending on the properties of the constituents, their concentrations and geometrical arrangements. Future challenges on the subject are also discussed.

“…In this study, the effective medium properties of mixtures are calculated using the finite element method [317,55,286,319,320,321,322,20,323,22]. Similar approaches can also be found elsewhere [32,30,29,31,33,23,324,325,326,327,230,231,328,204].…”

“…The pronounced positive shift of U FL ( ca. 63 mV) for Au x /NP‐TNTA heterostructure relative to NP‐TNTAs implies a decrease in band bending edge evolving from the sensitization of Au x clusters, thus facilitating electron transfer from Au x clusters to NP‐TNTAs under light irradiation. Therefore, M‐S result suggests that Au x /NP‐TNTA heterostructure shows a faster carrier transfer than NP‐TNTAs which results in the significantly enhanced PEC performances.…”

Recent years have witnessed increasing interest in the solution-phase synthesis of atomically precise thiolate-protected gold clusters (Aux ); nonetheless, research on the photocatalytic properties of Aux -semiconductor nanocomposites is still in its infancy. In this work, recently developed glutathione-capped gold clusters and highly ordered nanoporous layer-covered TiO2 nanotube arrays (NP-TNTAs) are employed as nanobuilding blocks for the construction of a well-defined Aux /NP-TNTA heterostructure via a facile electrostatic self-assembly strategy. Versatile photocatalytic performances of the Aux /NP-TNTA heterostructure which acts as a model catalyst, including photocatalytic oxidation of organic pollutant, photocatalytic reduction of aromatic nitro compounds and photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting under simulated solar light irradiation, are systematically exploited. It is found that synergistic interaction stemming from monodisperse coverage of Aux clusters on NP-TNTAs in combination with hierarchical nanostructure of NP-TNTAs reinforce light absorption of Aux /NP-TNTA heterostructure especially within visible region, hence contributing to the significantly enhanced photocatalytic and PEC water splitting performances. Moreover, photocatalytic and PEC mechanisms over Aux /NP-TNTA heterostructure are elucidated and corresponding reaction models were presented. It is anticipated that this work could boost new insight for photocatalytic properties of metal-cluster-sensitized semiconductor nanocomposites.

http://jap.aip.org/The randomness in the structure of two-component dense composite materials influences the scalar effective dielectric constant, in the quasistatic limit. A numerical analysis of this property is developed in this paper. The computer-simulation models used are based on both the finite element method and the boundary integral equation method for two- and three-dimensional structures, respectively. Owing to possible anisotropy the orientation of spatially fixed inhomogeneities of permittivity epsilon(1), embedded in a matrix of permittivity epsilon(2), affects the effective permittivity of the composite material sample. The primary goal of this paper is to analyze this orientation dependence. Second, the effect of the components geometry on the dielectric properties of the medium is studied. Third the effect of inhomogeneities randomly distributed within a matrix is investigated. Changing these three parameters provides a diverse array of behaviors useful to understand the dielectric properties of random composite materials. Finally, the data obtained from this numerical simulation are compared to the results of previous analytical work
