Abstract

We study periodic lattices of silicon nanorods and introduce the concept of a phase diagram that characterizes a transition between the regimes of photonic crystals and the dielectric metamaterials when the lattice spacing and operational wavelength vary. We find the conditions when a hexagonal periodic lattice of silicon nanorods can operate as a metamaterial described by averaged parameters. In general, we reveal that the metamaterial regime can be achieved for dielectric permittivity exceeding the value ϵ = 14, being commonly available for semiconductors in both visible and near-infrared frequency ranges. Thus, advanced semiconductor technologies can offer a versatile platform for novel designs of all-dielectric Mie-resonant metadevices.
