Effect of Ballistic Electrons on the Optical Response of Hyperbolic Metamaterials

This paper presents a theoretical and experimental study of the effect of ballistic electrons on the optical response of MIM (Metal-Insulator-Metal) like hyperbolic metamaterial structures. The simulated model using standard parameters and the experimental optical transmission show a 20% peak diffe...
