The optical properties of cermets from the theory of electrostatic resonances

A recently developed exact theory of electrostatic resonances in two-component composite materials is applied to the discussion of optical properties of some cermets (ceramic-metal mixtures). A considerable improvement in the agreement with experiments is achieved as compared with the effective-medium and Maxwell-Garnett approximations.
