We present a study of the reliability of the supercell method in calculations of surface
electromagnetic modes. For a truncated superlattice constituted of nonabsorbing dielectric …

Historically, the physics, energy spectrum, and wave functions of superlattices have had
different levels of understanding. Unlike the standard approaches, based on theorems for …

The single‐particle Hamiltonian of the electron–(long‐wave optical) phonon interaction is
discussed for semiconductor superlattices. In detail the dispersion relations are analyzed of …

The canonical problem of the propagation of surface-plasmon-polariton (SPP) waves
localized to the planar interface of a metal and a sculptured nematic thin film (SNTF) that is …

A distinctive feature of multilayered semiconductor structures lies in the fact that their
reflectance and absorption spectra are strongly influenced by their stratified geometry. With …

A theoretical investigation has been made of surface magnetoplasmon modes in truncated
semiconductor superlattices. The thicknesses of the superlattice layers are assumed …

The canonical problem of surface-wave propagation guided by the interface of two semi-
infinite rugate filters made of isotropic dielectric materials was formulated and solved …

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the local fields in linear and nonlinear optics of
mesoscopic systems, and describes the local-field electrodynamics in mesoscopic media …

We study the plasmon-polariton collective modes of a three-thin-film-on-a-substrate
structure, where two of the thin films have free-charge carriers and are separated by a static …

We present an analytical solution for the dielectric response of infinite and semi-infinite
superlattices with the constituent dielectric function ε (ω, z) being an arbitrary periodic …
