Silicon Hyperuniform Disordered Photonic Materials with a Pronounced Gap in t…

Photonic crystals are metamaterials designed to display a periodic modulation of the refractive index. [ 1,2 ] For light wavelengths that match the Bragg condition, such materials display a photonic gap. For suffi cient refractive index contrast, a complete band gap emerges, the density of states in the gap is zero,transmission vanishes and incident light is specularly refl ected.The concept wa…
