Electronic band structure (BS) and crystal are the two complementary identifiers of solid state materials. While convenient instruments reconstruction algorithms have made large, empirical, databases possible, extracting quasiparticle dispersion (closely related to BS) from photoemission mapping data is currently limited by available computational methods. To cope with growing size scale data, ...

In this paper a new optical channel drop filter (CDF) based on two dimensional (2-D) photonic crystals (PhC) with hexagonal shaped structure is proposed and numerically demonstrated by using the finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) and plane-wave-expansion (PWE) techniques. Photonic crystals (PhCs) are artificial dielectric nanostructure materials in which a periodic modulation of the material ...

In this paper, the design and implementation of plasma antenna array with beam forming is discussed. The structure consists of a circular array of plasma tube enclosed in a unipolar UHF band monopole antenna. Beam forming is possible by stimulated plasma tubes. The combination of the above antenna with plasma excitation controller makes a beam forming smart antenna. An experimental model in UHF...
