Abstract

A local thickness-dependent permittivity is derived in closed form for bounded nonlocal wire-medium structures. The model takes into account spatial dispersion (as an average per length of the wires) and the effect of the boundary, and shows that an effective local model of a nonlocal medium is thickness dependent. The permittivity is comprised of a local bulk (Drude) term and a boundary- and thickness-dependent term, the latter including the effect of spatial nonlocality. Results are obtained for different wire-medium topologies which possess strong spatial dispersion, demonstrating good agreement with a nonlocal homogenization model and full-wave simulation results.
