The physics of periodic systems are of fundamental importance and result in various
phenomena that govern wave transport and interference. However, deviations from …

The integrated absorption of an excitonic resonance is a measure of a semiconductor's
coupling to an optical field. The concept of an exciton–polariton expresses the non …

Quantum states of quasiparticles in solids are dictated by symmetry. We have experimentally
demonstrated quantum states of Dirac electrons in a two-dimensional quasicrystal without …

We develop a rigorous theoretical approach for analyzing inelastic scattering of photon pairs
in arrays of two-level qubits embedded into a waveguide. Our analysis reveals a strong …

Discovery of quasicrystals and other deterministic aperiodic structures initiated new fields of
research in solid-state photonics. In this review, we first make an overview of recently …

Light localization in disordered systems and Bragg scattering in regular periodic structures
are considered traditionally as two entirely opposite phenomena: disorder leads to …

We propose an elegant approach to produce photonic bandgap (PBG) structures with
multiple photonic bandgaps by constructing quasiperiodic photonic crystals (QPPCs) …

Based on the transfer matrix method (TMM) and Bloch theory, the interaction of elastic
waves (normal incidence) with 1D phononic crystal had been studied. The transfer matrix …

We review experimental and theoretical studies of resonance effects in electromagnetic
spectra of various photonic structures. We briefly present the history of research areas …

The subject of the review is the diffraction of an electromagnetic wave on a periodic
condensed matter where the Bragg condition is satisfied at the frequency of resonance …
