Novelties of Light with Photonic Crystals
Within the past several years “photonic crystals” have emerged as a new class of materials providing capabilities along new dimensions for the control and manipulation of light. These materials are viewed idea...

An Introduction to Photonic Crystals
During the past five years, there has emerged a new class of materials called photonic band gap materials or, more simply, photonic crystals. The underlying concept behind these materials stems from early noti...

Microcavities in Channel Waveguides
We introduce and analyse a new type of resonant microcavity consisting of a channel waveguide and a one-dimensional photonic crystal. A band gap for the guided modes is opened and a state is created within the...

The Design of Convergent and Transferable Ab Initio Pseudopotentials
This paper exhibits a criterion for creating pseudopotentials which possess rapid convergence in a plane-wave basis set. We demonstrate the applicability of this criterion in conjunction with many prescription...

Elimination of Photo-Induced Degradation in Semiconductor Devices
Hydrogenated amorphous silicon and related alloys ordinarily exhibit photo-induced changes that degrade device behavior, particularly in solar-cell applications. On the basis of a recently developed theory for...

Predicting the Structure of Solids
One of the oldest fundamental problems in condensed matter physics has been the prediction of the crystal structure of solids from first principles. Given only the atomic number of the constituent atoms as inp...
