Title: | Effective theory of quadratic degeneracies | Authors: | Soljačić, Marin Chong, Yidong Wen, Xiao-Gang |
Keywords: | DRNTU::Science::Physics | Issue Date: | 2008 | Source: | Chong, Y., Wen, X. G., & Soljačić, M. (2008). Effective theory of quadratic degeneracies. Physical review B, 77(23), 235125. | Series/Report no.: | Physical review B | Abstract: | We present an effective theory for the Bloch functions of a two-dimensional square lattice near a quadratic degeneracy point. The degeneracy is protected by the symmetries of the crystal, and breaking these symmetries can either open a band gap or split the degeneracy into a pair of linear degeneracies that are continuable to Dirac points. A degeneracy of this type occurs between the second and third transverse magnetic bands of a photonic crystal formed by a square lattice of dielectric rods. We show that the theory agrees with numerically computed photonic band structures and yields the correct Chern numbers induced by parity breaking. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/101039 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/18344 |
