Magnetic photonic crystals
TLDR
In this article, the authors outline a new direction in the area of photonic crystals (PCs), or photonic band gap materials, i.e. one-, two-, or three-dimensional superstructures with periods that are comparable with the wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation.Abstract:
In this paper we outline a new direction in the area of photonic crystals (PCs), or photonic band gap materials, i.e. one-, two-, or three-dimensional superstructures with periods that are comparable with the wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation. The main (and principal) characteristic of this new class of PCs is the presence of magnetically ordered components (or external magnetic field). The linear and nonlinear optical properties of such magnetic PCs are discussed.read more

Review and prospects of magnonic crystals and devices with reprogrammable band structure
TL;DR: This topical review addresses materials with a periodic modulation of magnetic parameters that give rise to artificially tailored band structures and allow unprecedented control of spin waves in microand nanostructured ferromagnetic materials.

Magnetoplasmonics: combining magnetic and plasmonic functionalities
TL;DR: In this paper, the state of the art and current understanding of the phenomenology associated with magnetoplasmonic structures where magnetism and plasmonics are intertwined are reviewed. But the authors do not consider the effect of the external magnetic field on the properties of the magneto-optical components.

Integrated Magneto-Optical Materials and Isolators: A Review
TL;DR: The background behind integration challenges, including waveguide birefringence, fabrication tolerances, garnet/semiconductor mismatch, and optimized interfaces will hopefully spark new ideas that will finally enable the realization of integrated optical isolators and circulators.

Plane-wave theory of three-dimensional magnonic crystals
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the plane-wave method to determine spin-wave spectra of three-dimensional magnonic crystals (the magnetic counterpart of photonic crystals) composed of two different ferromagnetic materials, and they demonstrated that magnonic gaps in such structures occur at spontaneous magnetization contrast and/or exchange contrast values above a certain critical level, depending on the lattice type.

Zongfu Yu,Zheng Wang,Shanhui Fan +2 more
TL;DR: One-dimensional magneto-optical photonic crystals can achieve one-way total reflection as discussed by the authors, which can simultaneously break time-reversal, spatial inversion and mirror symmetries.

Electrodynamics of continuous media
TL;DR: In this article, the propagation of electromagnetic waves and X-ray diffraction of X rays in crystals are discussed. But they do not consider the effects of superconductivity on superconducting conductors.
