Abstrakt: Copper nanoparticles (Cu) anchored lithium niobate (LiNbO3) nanostructures were prepared by a simple hydrothermal technique. The fine and sparse Cu nanoparticles were homogeneously dispersed over the surface of LiNbO3. An effectual anchoring of Cu was evidenced from the acquired reflection planes in diffraction analysis, which clearly indicate the face-centered cubic structure of Cu. The UV-Visible spectrum of LiNbO3 and Cu/LiNbO3 nanocomposites were also studied. When the Cu nanoparticles were doped with LiNbO3/LiTaO3 superlattice system, the change in the dispersion relation was observed theoretically. The characteristics of the polariton dispersion variation with filling factor of Cu nanoparticles concentration were investigated systematically. The importance of the polariton modes in communication sector was analyzed and the occurrence of new modes on the polaritonic gap, where the propagation of the electromagnetic wave is forbidden, were obtained in the system due to the presence of copper nanoparticles.
