The properties of quasi-two-dimensional semiconductor quantum dots are reviewed.
Experimental techniques for measuring the electronic shell structure and the effect of …

A surface wave (SW) in optics is a light wave, which is supported at an interface of two
dissimilar media and propagates along the interface with its field amplitude exponentially …

The theory of surface electronic states is a widely researched topic which underlies all our
knowledge of the behaviour of electrons at solid surfaces. It is of paramount importance in …

We demonstrate the existence of a spectrally narrow localized surface state, the so-called
optical Tamm state, at the interface between one-dimensional magnetophotonic and …

We study the optical properties of a photonic crystal interfaced with a uniform medium with
the negative dielectric constant or with another photonic crystal. We show that, at such an …

From the beginning of the 20th century, researchers have been interested in surface
electromagnetic waves guided by planar interfaces of dissimilar mediums. Much initial …

Efficiently fabricating a cavity that can achieve strong interactions between terahertz waves
and matter would allow researchers to exploit the intrinsic properties due to the long …

As new states of matter currently attracting broad attention in the optics field, topological
insulators (TIs) present topologically‐protected conducting surface states surrounding …

The purpose of this review is to survey the status of the theory and experiment which can
contribute to our knowledge of plasmon excitations in synthetic semiconductor …

The infinite square well and the attractive Dirac delta function potentials are arguably two of
the most widely used models of one-dimensional bound-state systems in quantum …
