The refractive index of silver nanowire networks: a heuristic approach to the foundations of the optical constants, from experiment to theory

Abstract This study employs Mie’s scattering theory and van de Hulst’s mixing model to predict the refractive indices (n, k) of silver nanowire (AgNW) networks in the visible and near-infrared wavelengths, allowing the comparison to the experimentally determined k spectra. Transmittance spectra calc...
