Weyl points and line nodes in gyroid photonic crystals
Weyl points and line nodes are three-dimensional linear point and line degeneracies between two bands. In contrast to two-dimensional Dirac points, which are their lower-dimensional analogues, Weyl points are stable in momentum space, and the associated surface states are predicted to be topologically non-trivial. However, Weyl points are yet to be discovered in nature. Here, we report photonic...
متن کاملDirac Line Nodes in Inversion-Symmetric Crystals.
We propose and characterize a new Z2 class of topological semimetals with a vanishing spin-orbit interaction. The proposed topological semimetals are characterized by the presence of bulk one-dimensional (1D) Dirac line nodes (DLNs) and two-dimensional (2D) nearly flat surface states, protected by inversion and time-reversal symmetries. We develop the Z2 invariants dictating the presence of DLN...
متن کاملTwo-Dimensional Photonic Crystals
This research investigates the use of two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystals (PhC) as selective emitters and means of achieving higher efficiencies in combustion-driven thermophotovoltaic (TPV) systems intended as auxiliary power systems in automobiles. A TPV power conversion system functions on the principle of direct conversion of thermal radiation into electricity. A basic TPV system consist...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional tunable photonic crystals
We call a photonic crystal tunable if its spectrum can be altered by an external electric or magnetic field. One of the two constitutive components of the proposed periodic composite structure has either electric permittivity or magnetic permeability dependent on the external electric or magnetic field. Consequently, the electromagnetic spectrum of the photonic crystal can be altered over a wid...
متن کاملLifshitz Localization-based Reconfigurable Photonic Crystals
We theoretically investigate programming the functionality of photonic crystals (PCs) by reconfiguring the random location of defects. It is shown, via numerical finite-difference timedomain simulations, that the random spatial location of defects, implemented as identical changes in refractive index with respect to the host lattice, has the potential to enable realizing a large number of funct...
