Peculiarities of Wave Surface of a SemiconductorDielectric Metamaterial

Abstract

In the current paper the features of the wave surface of a semiconductor-dielectric periodic structure being under an action of an external magnetic field in the Voight geometry are studied. The periodic structure is considered in the long-wave limit when it can be modeled as an optically biaxial crystal with effective components of permittivity. The influence of dissipations in the semiconductor layers is numerically evaluated. The influence of the constituent materials parameters, of semiconductor and dielectric layers, filling factors and external magnetic field magnitude on the dispersion wave surface is studied numerically.
