Dear all, I'm wondering about an easy triangular lattice of holes-calculation. I simulated that lattice with radius/lattice constant=0.45 once with epsilon=11.4 (like e.g. in the book of Joannopoulos) and once with epsilon=2.45. There appeared a bandgap in tm-polarization between band 2 and 3 with the bigger epsilon, but none with the smaller value. But shouldn't it look the same (due to the scaling properties of the master equations)? Or is it only a resolution/mesh-size-problem?
Thanks for your help Philipp Above is my ctl-file: (set! geometry-lattice (make lattice (size 1 1 no-size) (basis1 (/ (sqrt 3) 2) 0.5) (basis2 (/ (sqrt 3) 2) -0.5))) (set! default-material (make dielectric (epsilon 2.45))) (set! geometry (list (make cylinder (material (make dielectric (epsilon 1))) (center 0 0 0) (radius 0.45) (height infinity)))) (set! k-points (list (vector3 0 0 0) (vector3 0 0.5 0) (vector3 (/ -3) (/ 3) 0) (vector3 0 0 0))) (set! k-points (interpolate 128 k-points)) (set! resolution 64) (set! num-bands 12) (set! mesh-size 10) (run-tm) _______________________________________________ mpb-discuss mailing list mpb-discuss@ab-initio.mit.edu http://ab-initio.mit.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mpb-discuss
