Fano-resonance in one-dimensional topological photonic crystal heterostructure
Abstract:
We theoretically realize the Fano resonance with a high quality factor of 106 using a structure, which is constructed from three one-dimensional photonic crystals and a defect layer. The emerged Fano resonance can be attributed to the weak coupling between a Fabry-Perot cavity mode and a topological edge state mode provided by the topological photonic crystal heterostructure. Moreover, we experimentally reproduce this Fano resonance in the optical communication range with a high quality of 104. This may be useful reference for the study of applications of photonic topological states in integrated photonic devices and information processing chips.

Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...

Initiating crystallization involves manipulating the concentration of the solute and the temperature of the solution. Since crystal growth occurs when the ratio of concentration and solubility of the solute in the solvent...
02:58Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
CFT focuses on...
02:46Crystal 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,...
