Abstract

We applied to a one-dimensional system (1D) a recently developed diagrammatic formalism, in order to calculate the effective dielectric response of a chain of polarizable spheres embeded in an homogeneous host. The effective response is calculated within the dipolar, quasi-static approximation, through the summation of selected classes of diagrams. We compared our results with a numerical simulation, where the position of each sphere was generated at random and the induced dipole moment of each sphere was calculated by solving a set of linear equations through matrix inversion and using periodic boundary conditions.
