Non-Bravais lattices were created by introducing a second non-equivalent lattice point. Near-infrared light is confined within a nanodisk periodic structure with controlled bound states in the ...

Kyoto, Japan -- A novel light-manipulating technology has been developed by an international team, including Kyoto University, that can be applied to lasers, sensors, and nonlinear optics. The ...

How can identical particles be crammed together as densely as possible? A combination of theory and computer simulations shows how the answer to this intricate problem depends on the shape of the ...

This is largely a show-and-tell demo. You select which models you want to highlight. Students may find it useful to be able to handle the models personally, which is great for a small class. If you ...

Structural properties lie at the heart of condensed matter physics, where the periodic arrangement and detailed bonding of atoms dictate the macroscopic behaviours of materials. Over the past decades, ...

Surface lattice resonance, where the dipoles (represented as arrows) in nanodisks are coupled via in-plane diffraction (waves between the disks oscillating perpendicular to the arrows) Bound States in ...
