By Joshua N. Winn
Since it was once first released in 1995, Photonic Crystals has remained the definitive textual content for either undergraduates and researchers on photonic band-gap fabrics and their use in controlling the propagation of sunshine. This newly improved and revised variation covers the most recent advancements within the box, supplying the main up to date, concise, and entire publication to be had on those novel fabrics and their applications.
ranging from Maxwell's equations and Fourier research, the authors enhance the theoretical instruments of photonics utilizing rules of linear algebra and symmetry, emphasizing analogies with conventional solid-state physics and quantum concept. They then examine the original phenomena that occur inside photonic crystals at illness websites and surfaces, from one to 3 dimensions. This new version comprises completely new chapters describing vital hybrid buildings that use band gaps or periodicity simply in a few instructions: periodic waveguides, photonic-crystal slabs, and photonic-crystal fibers. The authors reveal how the features of photonic crystals to localize mild will be placed to paintings in units reminiscent of filters and splitters. a brand new appendix offers an outline of computational equipment for electromagnetism. latest chapters were significantly up-to-date and extended to incorporate many new third-dimensional photonic crystals, an intensive educational on gadget layout utilizing temporal coupled-mode idea, discussions of diffraction and refraction at crystal interfaces, and extra. Richly illustrated and accessibly written, Photonic Crystals is an critical source for college students and researchers.

Physical Properties of Crystals: Their Representation by Tensors and Matrices
First released in 1957, this vintage examine has been reissued in a paperback model that incorporates an extra bankruptcy bringing the fabric modern. the writer formulates the actual houses of crystals systematically in tensor notation, proposing tensor houses by way of their universal mathematical foundation and the thermodynamic family among them.
Ice is among the such a lot ample and environmentally vital fabrics on the earth, and its designated and interesting actual houses current interesting components of analysis for a large choice of researchers. This publication is set the physics of ice, through which is intended the homes of the cloth itself and the ways that those houses are interpreted by way of water molecules and crystalline constitution.
