    Area of Science:

    • Materials Science
    • Optics and Photonics
    • Condensed Matter Physics

    Background:

    • The Borrmann effect, a phenomenon in X-ray diffraction, describes anomalous transmission of X-rays through crystals under Bragg diffraction conditions.
    • Photonic crystals (PhCs) are periodic nanostructures that manipulate light propagation, offering potential for novel optical devices.
    • Porous silicon and silica-based materials are investigated for their unique optical and structural properties.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To experimentally observe and demonstrate the optical Borrmann effect in one-dimensional (1D) porous silica-based photonic crystals (PhCs).
    • To investigate the underlying mechanisms contributing to the optical Borrmann effect, specifically light scattering and absorption in nanoporous layers.
    • To confirm the observed effects and their polarization sensitivity through numerical calculations.
