Over the last three decades, photonic crystals (PhCs) have attracted intense interests thanks
to their broad potential applications in optics and photonics. Generally, these structures can …

The Jaynes–Cummings Model (JCM) has recently been receiving increased attention as
one of the simplest, yet intricately nonlinear, models of quantum physics. Emphasising the …

Self-assembling colloidal particles in the cubic diamond crystal structure could potentially be
used to make materials with a photonic bandgap,–. Such materials are beneficial because …

The ability to design and assemble three-dimensional structures from colloidal particles is
limited by the absence of specific directional bonds. As a result, complex or low-coordination …

Gradient-based inverse design in photonics has already achieved remarkable results in
designing small-footprint, high-performance optical devices. The adjoint variable method …

A new class of composite materials has emerged which provides a means to control and
manipulate light. These materials, known as photonic crystals, are periodic arrays of …

We present the first full band-structure calculations for periodic, elastic composites. For
transverse polarization of the vibrations we obtain a ''phononic''band gap which extends …

The electronic ground state of a periodic system is usually described in terms of extended
Bloch orbitals, but an alternative representation in terms of localized “Wannier functions” …

A new type of metallic electromagnetic structure has been developed that is characterized
by having high surface impedance. Although it is made of continuous metal, and conducts …

We discuss the validity of standard retrieval methods that assign bulk electromagnetic
properties, such as the electric permittivity ε and the magnetic permeability μ, from …
