Hyperbolic metamaterials: fundamentals and applications

Metamaterials are nano-engineered media with designed properties beyond those available in nature with applications in all aspects of materials science. In particular, metamaterials have shown promise for next generation optical materials with electromagnetic responses that cannot be obtained from conventional media. We review the fundamental properties of metamaterials with hyperbolic dispersi...

Band-gap engineering in two-dimensional periodic photonic crystals

A theoretical investigation is made of the dispersion characteristics of plasmons in a twodimensional periodic system of semiconductor (dielectric) cylinders embedded in a dielectric (semiconductor) background. We consider both square and hexagonal arrangements and calculate extensive band structures for plasmons using a plane-wave method within the framework of a local theory. It is found that...

Band-Gap Structure of the Spectrum of Periodic Maxwell Operators

We investigate the band-gap structure of some second-order differential operators associated with the propagation of waves in periodic two-component media. Particularly, the operator associated with the Maxwell equations with position-dependent dielectric constant e(x), x e R 3, is considered. The medium is assumed to consist of two components: the background, where e(x)= eh, and the embedded c...
