Electromagnetic wave propagation in active and passive multilayered nanostructures

The propagation and attenuation of electromagnetic waves in the artificial multilayered periodic nanostructures were investigated in the work. We have studied the dispersion of waves in an infinite fine-stratified semiconductor medium. The influence of dissipation on the instability of drift waves in a fine-layered periodic semiconductor structure subjected to an electric field that induces the drift of charge carriers of different signs has been considered. It was discovered that slow magnetoplasma waves can propagate in periodic semiconductor nanostructures. It was shown that in periodic ferromagnet-semiconductor multilayer composite the left-handed behaviour is possible. The peculiarities of transmission spectra of electromagnetic waves which propagate through a fine-stratified magnetoactive structure have been investigated.
