Abstract
The methods used for the formation of composite materials with a definite high refractive index in a terahertz (THz) frequency range due to the incorporation of silicon micro- or nanoparticles into a polymer-thermoplast matrix are considered. The dielectric properties of the composites are studied versus the concentration of silicon particles and THz radiation frequency. The maximum achievable limits of refraction, absorption, and scattering are determined. The possibility to use a composite material based on polyethilene impregnated with Si-nanoparticles for manufacturing THz optics elements is demonstrated.
