Quasi-bound states in the continuum induced by supercell coupling
Abstract:
In this paper, we propose what we believe to be a novel coupling mechanism for generating quasi-bound states in the continuum (quasi-BIC) in symmetrical metasurface structures. We demonstrate for the first time in theoretical predictions that supercell coupling can induce quasi-BIC(s). We utilize the coupled mode theory (CMT) to analyze the physical mechanism for the generation of quasi-bound states in such symmetrical structures, which result from our investigation of the coupling between sub-cells that are separated from supercells. We verify our theory by using both full-wave simulations and experiments.

The extent of coupling depends on the C‑C bond length, the two H‑C‑C angles, any electron-withdrawing substituents, and the dihedral angle between the...

In alkenes, spin information is communicated via σ–π overlap, as seen in allylic (four-bond) and homoallylic (five-bond) couplings. These coupling interactions are stronger when the σ bond is parallel to the alkene...

The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
