Tight-Binding Parametrization for Photonic Band Gap Materials
Tight-Binding Parametrization for Photonic Band Gap Materials
The ideas of the linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) method, well known from the study of electrons, is extended to the classical wave case. The Mie resonances of the isolated scatterer in the classical wave case, are analogous to the localized eigenstates in the electronic case. The matrix elements …
