Dear all,
I am trying to model the photonic bandgap of a gyroid (Ia3d) structure
using MPB. I was wondering if this was possible using MPB given the
surface is continuous and not discrete and would appreciwate any help in
setting up the unit cell.
Or is MEEP more suited to this. I have written a code that can import
any arbitrary geometry (2D/3D) into MEEP.
Many thanks,
Vinod
PS> The gyroid surface divides space into two separate, continuous
networks.
Each network consists of 3-fold connectors.
NETWORK ONE
1/8, 1/8, 1/8
connected to -> -1/8, 1/8, 3/8
1/8, 3/8, -1/8
3/8, -1/8, 1/8
Translations of 1/2,1/2,1/2 + periodic translations
generates 8 connectors per unit cell.
NETWORK TWO
3/8, 3/8, 3/8
connected to ->
3/8, 1/8, 5/8
5/8, 3/8, 1/8
1/8, 5/8, 3/8
Translations of 1/2, 1/2, 1/2 + periodic translations
generates 8 connectors per unit cell.
