TL;DR: By the use of a position-dependent dielectric constant and the plane-wave method, the photonic band structure for electromagnetic waves in a structure consisting of a periodic array of parallel dielectrics rods of circular cross section, whose intersections with a perpendicular plane form a triangular lattice is calculated.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used Green's second integral theorem to obtain exact expressions for the scattered electromagnetic field produced by a p- or s-polarized beam of finite width incident from the vacuum side onto a random grating whose grooves are perpendicular to the plane of incidence.

TL;DR: In this article, the static ground state energy of a two-dimensional Wigner crystal has been obtained for each of the five 2D Bravais lattices, and the dispersion curves for wave vectors along the symmetry directions in the first Brillouin zone for the hexagonal lattice are calculated.

TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical description of the scattering and absorption of electromagnetic radiation induced by roughness on the surface of a semi-infinite medium is presented, where the authors use scattering theory applied to the classical Maxwell equations.

TL;DR: A microscopic theory of the electric field induced infrared absorption by crystals of the diamond structure is presented in this paper, together with a determination of the modifications in the first-order Raman spectra of such crystals induced by externally applied electric fields and stresses.
