TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed the theoretical tools of photonics using principles of linear algebra and symmetry, emphasizing analogies with traditional solid-state physics and quantum theory, and investigated the unique phenomena that take place within photonic crystals at defect sites and surfaces, from one to three dimensions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe recent technical developments that have made the total-energy pseudopotential the most powerful ab initio quantum-mechanical modeling method presently available, and they aim to heighten awareness of the capabilities of the method in order to stimulate its application to as wide a range of problems in as many scientific disciplines as possible.

TL;DR: A quantitative model is presented describing the power transfer of self-resonant coils in a strongly coupled regime, which matches the experimental results to within 5%.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the photonic bandgap as a periodicity in dielectric constant, which can create a range of 'forbidden' frequencies called a photonic Bandgap.

TL;DR: A fully-vectorial, three-dimensional algorithm to compute the definite-frequency eigenstates of Maxwell's equations in arbitrary periodic dielectric structures, including systems with anisotropy or magnetic materials, using preconditioned block-iterative eigensolvers in a planewave basis is described.
