Compact localized states of open scattering media: a graph decomposition approach for an ab initio design
Abstract:
We study the compact localized scattering resonances of periodic and aperiodic chains of dipolar nanoparticles by combining the powerful equitable partition theorem (EPT) of a graph theory with the spectral dyadic Green's matrix formalism for the engineering of embedded quasi-modes in non-Hermitian open scattering systems in three spatial dimensions. We provide the analytical and numerical design of the spectral properties of compact localized states in electromagnetically coupled chains and establish a connection with the distinctive behavior of bound states in the continuum. Our results extend the concept of compact localization to the scattering resonances of open systems with an arbitrary aperiodic order beyond tight-binding models, and are relevant for the efficient design of novel photonic and plasmonic metamaterial architectures for enhanced light-matter interaction.

Compact Bone
Compact bone, also called cortical bone, is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue. It is found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection. The microscopic structural unit of compact bone is called an osteon, or haversian system. Each osteon is composed of concentric rings of calcified...
