THERMAL RADIATION PROPERTY OF A THREE DIMENSIONAL PHOTONIC CRYSTAL BASED ON MULTIPLE SCATTERING METHOD

We present a multiple-scattering method in conjunction with supercell calculations to study the electromagnetic surface states in three-dimensional photonic crystal (PC) slab. Using our technique, we obtain the first prediction of Dirac-cone photonic surface state in some three-dimensional PC slabs. Such a state can be used to investigate some extremal transmission phenomena of electromagnetic waves near the Dirac point on the surface of the crystal, which is similar to the case of electron on the surface of topological insulators.

Multiple Scattering Method

The influences of the constituent material parameters of the three-dimensional locally resonant phononic crystal on the lower and upper edge frequencies of its lowest gap are investigated with the Multiple-scattering theory. It is found that the frequency dependence on those parameters can be well reproduced by a simple mass-spring model, which manifests the physical essence of the resonance modes determining the edge frequencies of the gap. Since the equivalent mass and stiffness of the model can be determined from the material parameters and structure size in one unit cell, the lower and upper edge frequencies of the lowest gap of locally resonant phononic crystals can be estimated from this model analytically. Comparison between the analytical estimations and the numerical results calculating with multiple scattering method shows very good agreement. The proposed heuristic model lends itself to understand the locally resonant mechanism more clearly. The frequency estimating formulas induced from the model allow one to predict the edge frequencies of the lowest gap, which simplifies the design process of locally resonant phononic crystals.

Static Uniform Magnetic Field

We present an extension of the layer-multiple-scattering method to photonic crystals of gyrotropic spheres in a homogeneous host medium. The efficiency of the method is demonstrated on specific examples of three-dimensional chiral structures and surfaces of crystals of plasma spheres in an external static uniform magnetic field that lack, simultaneously, time-reversal and space-inversion symmetries, and exhibit a nonreciprocal spectral response.
