Electromagnetic wave reflection and transmission by a fine-stratified semiconductor-dielectric periodic structure in an external magnetic field

Abstract

Propagation of electromagnetic waves in a structure formed by periodically alternating semiconductor and dielectric layers is studied for the case where an external magnetic field is applied parallel to the boundaries of the layers. The expressions for effective permittivity were obtained in the long-wave limit. It was shown that, investigated structure represents a biaxial crystal. The dependence of transmission spectra of electromagnetic waves that propagate through a fine-stratified periodic structure on the external magnetic field, frequency and thicknesses of the layers was examined theoretically.
