Abstract:
A macroscopic artificial dielectric structure for a gas-permeable susceptor consisting of:(a) first regions in the structure that are primarily reflective to applied electromagnetic energy; (b) second regions in the structure that are not primarily reflective to applied electromagnetic energy; wherein the first regions are discontinuously interspersed between and among the second regions, and the reflections of the applied electromagnetic energy by these said first regions provides a means for scattering the applied electromagnetic energy and any fluorescence created by the interaction of the applied electromagnetic energy with said first and second regions in the gas-permeable susceptor to interact with said second regions and the distance between each of said first regions does not prevent the applied electromagnetic energy from penetrating the structure and interacting volumetrically with the susceptor and the chemical species flow passing through the susceptor.
