Abstract

Using a plane-wave expansion method, we have solved Maxwell's equations for the propagation of electromagnetic waves in a periodic lattice of dielectric spheres (dielectric constant ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\epsilon}}}_{\mathit{a}}$) in a uniform dielectric background (${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\epsilon}}}_{\mathit{b}}$). Contrary to experiment, we find that fcc dielectric structures do not have a ``photonic band gap'' that extends throughout the Brillouin zone. However, we have determined that dielectric spheres arranged in the diamond structure do possess a full photonic band gap. This gap exists for refractive-index contrasts as low as 2.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
