Abstract

In this paper, we perform a coated coherent potential approximation method to investigate the transport properties of disordered media consisting of two-layered dielectric spheres whose constituent layer is dispersive. The admixture of quantum dots to polymers to a certain concentration is used as dispersive medium. We find that the dispersive inclusion of the two-layered spheres influences the transport velocities greatly and a resonant scattering taking place in a dilute disordered medium is smeared out in the corresponding densely disordered medium where the correlation effects of multiple scattering are taken into account.
