Abstract:
Spectral properties of photonic crystal double heterostructure resonant cavities are calculated numerically using the three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method. Resonance frequencies and quality factors are reported for various bound states that form near stationary points in the photonic crystal dispersion diagram. The associated electric field spatial profiles are presented indicating potential for in-plane laser optimization. In addition, Fabry-Perot oscillations are observed in the spectra.

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
