Photonic Crystals: Mathematical Analysis and Numerical Approximation

by Michael Plum, Armin Lechleiter, Willy Dorfler, et al.

This book concentrates on the mathematics of photonic crystals, which form an important class of physical structures investigated in nanotechnology. Photonic crystals are materials which are composed of two or more different dielectrics or metals, and which exhibit a spatially periodic structure, typically at the length scale of hundred nanometers. In the mathematical analysis and the numerical simulation of the partial differential equations describing...
