In this paper, the properties of the defect mode in the photonic band gap ofone-dimensional ternary photonic crystals containing high temperature superconductorlayer (SPCs) have been theoretically investigated. We considered the quasi-periodiclayered structures by choosing two order of ternary Thue-Morse structures with mirrorsymmetry. We investigated the transmission spectra of these structure...

Using the transfer matrix method, the effect of temperature on thetransmission spectra of thermal tunable nano metallic photonic crystal filter has beeninvestigated. Three different materials H (high refractive index material), L (lowrefractive index material) and M as a metallic layer, have been used to make thisstructure. M layer is considered to be Silver. The complex refractive index of Sil...

Topological materials discovery has evolved at a rapid pace over the past 15 years following identification of first nonmagnetic topological insulators (TIs), crystalline (TCIs), and 3D semimetals (TSMs). Most recently, through complete analyses symmetry-allowed band structures - including theory Quantum Chemistry (TQC) researchers have determined crystal-symmetry-enhanced Wilson-loop symmetry-...

A Lie theoretic interpretation is given to a pattern with five-fold symmetry occurring in aperiodic Penrose tiling based on isosceles triangles with length ratios equal to the Golden Section. Specifically a B(∞) crystal based on that of Kashiwara is constructed exhibiting this five-fold symmetry. It is shown that it can be represented as a Kashiwara B(∞) crystal in type A4. Similar crystals wit...

A computer program running under X-windows on any unix system has been developed for the visualization of symmetry in reciprocal space using reduced data from crystal measurements. The program was demonstrated using a test crystal of the inclusion compound of camphor(+) in thiourea, in the moderately high symmetry space group R32. The results indicate the usefulness of the visualization approac...

The relation between the properties of a specific crystallographic site and the properties of the full crystal is discussed by using spherical tensors. The concept of spherical tensors is introduced and the way it transforms under the symmetry operations of the site and from site to site is described in detail. The law of spherical tensor coupling is given and illustrated with the example of th...

In those cases where charge-stripe order has been observed in cuprates, the crystal structure is such that the average rotational symmetry of the CuO2 planes is reduced from fourfold to twofold. As a result, one could argue that the reduced lattice symmetry is essential to the existence of stripe order. We use pressure to restore the average fourfold symmetry in a single crystal of La1.875Ba0.1...

Chiral symmetry breaking in stirred crystallization of sodium chlorate (NaCI03) is believed to occur via nucleation of a single chiral "mother crystal" that produces a new generation of crystals which inherit its chirality. We here report results of stirred crystallizations resulting in massive "instantaneous" primary nucleation and total symmetry breaking. The results of these experiments sugg...

The title compound, C(16)H(21)BO(6), has has approximate C(2) symmetry, but no crystallographically imposed mol-ecular symmetry. In the crystal, mol-ecules are packed into parallel columns along the a axis. Short inter-molecular C-H⋯O contacts stabilize the crystal packing.
