This Review covers photonic crystals (PhCs) and their use for sensing mainly chemical and
biochemical parameters, with a particular focus on the materials applied. Specific sections …

This Review summarizes recent developments in the field of responsive photonic crystal
structures, including principles for design and fabrication and many strategies for …

Supramolecules with topological characteristicshave attracted great interest both
experimentally and theoretically. A new kind of gel has been obtained by chemically cross …

This is the first comprehensive textbook on the optical properties of photonic crystals. It deals
not only with the properties of the radiation modes inside the crystals but also with their …

The term 'photonics' describes a technology whereby data transmission and processing
occurs largely or entirely by means of photons. Photonic crystals are microstructured …

Abstract A 200,000-yr interval of extreme global warming marked the start of the Eocene
epoch about 55 million years ago. Negative carbon-and oxygen-isotope excursions in …

An artificial crystal structure has been fabricated exhibiting a full three-dimensional photonic
bandgap effect at optical communication wavelengths. The photonic crystal was constructed …

Photonic crystals have achieved a lot of research significance due to their projected
applications. Their use as sensors is enabled due to their well-defined physical properties …

Since the advent of quantum mechanics and the clear demonstration of the existence
of'matter waves', physicists have never failed to take advantage of concepts and theoretical …

For three-dimensional photonic crystals, made either by top-down microfabrication or by
bottom-up self-assembly approaches, to comply with the stringent requirements of optical …
