Periodic materials and interference lithography for photonics, phononics and mechanics

Written by the department head of materials science and engineering at MIT, this concise and stringent introduction takes readers from the fundamental theory to in-depth knowledge. It sets out with a theoretical scheme for the designof desirable periodic structures, then presents the experimental techniques that allow for fabrication of the periodic structure and exemplary experimentaldata. Subsequently, theory and numerical data are used to demonstrate how these periodic structures control the photonic, acoustic, and mechanical properties of materials, concluding with examples from these three important fields ofapplications. INDICE: Introduction I. THEORY Structural Periodicities Periodic Structures and Functions Interference of Waves and Interference Lithography Periodic Structures and Interference Lithography II. EXPERIMENTAL Fabrication of PeriodicStructures III. APPLICATIONS Photonic Crystals Phononic Crystals Periodic Cellular Solids Further Applications
