Polaritons in Periodic and Quasiperiodic Structures

by Eudenilson L. Albuquerque, Michael G. Cottam ...

In recent years there have been exciting developments in techniques for producing multilayered structures of different materials, often with thicknesses as small as only a few atomic layers. These artificial structures, known as superlattices, can either be grown with the layers stacked in an alternating fashion (the periodic case) or according to some other well-defined mathematical rule (the ...
