Two-Dimensional Ferroelectric Photonic Crystals: Optics and Band Structure
In this report we present an investigation of the optical properties and band
structure calculations for the photonic structures based on the functional
materials- ferroelectrics. A theoretical approach to the optical properties of
the 2D and 3D photonic crystals which yields further insight in the phenomenon
of the reflection from different families of lattice planes in relation to the
presence of photonic gaps or photonic bands. We calculate the photonic bands
and optical properties of LiNbO3 based photonic crystals. Calculations of
reflection and transmission spectra show the features correspond to the onset
of diffraction, as well as to additional reflectance structures at large values
of the angle of incidence.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, 1 table, This paper were presented at 21 st

Linear and nonlinear optical properties of SbSI: First-principle caculation
8th European Conference on Applications of Polar Dielectrics (ECAPD-8) -- SEP 05-08, 2006 -- Metz, FRANCEWOS: 000247346900020Theoretical investigation of linear and non-linear optical constants of SbSI by using abinitio method is made (in paraelectric and ferroelectric phase). Using an improved Kramers-Kronig technique with two confining spectral limits the spectra of optical parameters and linear and nonlinear optical functions were calculated.Ecole Natl Super Arts Metiers, Univ Paul Verlaine, Ecole Super Elect, Ctr Natl Rech Sci, Conseil Reg Lorraine, Conseil Gen Moselle, Commun Agglomerat Metz Metropole, Grp Rech FIFA, Taylor & Francis Grp, Casde
The elastic, electronic, and optical properties of PtSi and PtGe compounds
WOS: 000292725700001The structural, mechanical, electronic and optical properties of orthorhombic PtSi and PtGe were investigated using norm-conserving pseudopotentials within the local density approximation in the frame of density functional theory. The calculated lattice parameters and bulk modulus for PtSi and PtGe have been compared with the experimental and theoretical values. The second-order elastic constants were calculated, and the other related quantities such as the Young's modulus, shear modulus, Poisson's ratio, anisotropy factor, sound velocities and Debye temperature have also been estimated. The linear photon-energy dependent dielectric functions and some optical properties such as the energy-loss function, the effective number of valance electrons and the effective optical dielectric constant were calculated. Our structural estimation and some other results are in agreement with the available experimental and theoretical data
First principles prediction of the elastic, electronic, and optical properties of Sb 2S 3 and Sb 2Se 3 compounds
We have performed a first principles study of structural, mechanical, electronic, and optical properties of orthorhombic Sb 2S 3 and Sb 2Se 3 compounds using the density functional theory within the local density approximation. The lattice parameters, bulk modulus, and its pressure derivatives of these compounds have been obtained. The second-order elastic constants have been calculated, and the other related quantities such as the Young's modulus, shear modulus, Poisson's ratio, anisotropy factor, sound velocities, Debye temperature, and hardness have also been estimated in the present work. The linear photon-energy dependent dielectric functions and some optical properties such as the energy-loss function, the effective number of valence electrons and the effective optical dielectric constant are calculated. Our structural estimation and some other results are in agreement with the available experimental and theoretical data
Band structure and transmission spectra in multiferroic based Sierpinski-carpet phononic crystal
In this study, the band structure and transmission spectra in multiferroic based Sierpinski-carpet phononic crystal are investigated based on finite element simulation. In order to obtain the band structure of the phononic crystal (PnC), the Floquet periodicity conditions were applied to the sides of unit cell. The square lattice PnC consists of various piezoelectric inclusion in a rubber matrix with circular and triangular cross section
