Dear Prof. Steven, OKey! I got it. I have used a non-orthogonal supercell for calvulating triangular lattice. That may be the problem. I chose the supercell like this: o o

Dear Prof.Steven and others, Thank you for your answer. But my question is how to set the K path in calculating and projecting the slab mode? You known, projecting the slab mode needs to scan the full area of Brillouin zone, then project to the waveguide direction. Below is my

The easiest way to project the slab modes for a line defect is just to use a large supercell with no defect. On Thu, 15 Nov 2007, Ryan Hao wrote: Dear Prof.Steven and others, Thank you for your answer. But my question is how to set the K path in calculating and projecting the slab

Dear Prof.Steven, Thank you for your instant reply. I am sorry that I can't understand you. I know sent the supercell with no defect to calculate slab mode. But how to project it to the waveguide direction? Just a large supercell is enough? why? Could you please talk into it a

Prof.steven and other MPB user: In the case of line defect waveguide in photonic crystal slab,I succeed in caculating the waveguide mode with MPB.but there still something left:I must find way to project the band strucure of the regular lattice of the slab(slab mode) and the lightcone?You can
