In this paper we address the question how to design photonic crystals that have photonic band gaps around a finite number of given frequencies. In such materials electromagnetic waves with these frequencies can not propagate; this makes them interesting for a large number of applications. We focus on crystals made of periodically ordered thin rods with high contrast dielectric properties. We show that the material parameters can be chosen in such a way that transverse magnetic modes with given frequencies can not propagate in the crystal. At the same time, for any frequency belonging to a predefined range there exists a transverse electric mode that can propagate in the medium. These results are related to the spectral properties of a weighted Laplacian and of an elliptic operator of divergence type both acting in $L^2(mathbb{R}^2)$. The proofs rely on perturbation theory of linear operators, Floquet-Bloch analysis, and properties of Schroedinger operators with point interactions.
We develop a Hilbert-space approach to the diffusion process of the Brownian motion in a bounded domain with random jumps from the boundary introduced by Ben-Ari and Pinsky in 2007. The generator of the process is introduced by a diffusion elliptic d
We are concerned with the dependence of the lowest positive eigenvalue of the Dirac operator on the geometry of rectangles, subject to infinite-mass boundary conditions. It is shown that the square is the global minimiser both under the area or perim
We make a spectral analysis of the massive Dirac operator in a tubular neighborhood of an unbounded planar curve,subject to infinite mass boundary conditions. Under general assumptions on the curvature, we locate the essential spectrum and derive an
We consider the 3D Schrodinger operator $H_0$ with constant magnetic field $B$ of scalar intensity $b>0$, and its perturbations $H_+$ (resp., $H_-$) obtained by imposing Dirichlet (resp., Neumann) conditions on the boundary of the bounded domain $Ome
We consider a 2D Pauli operator with almost periodic field $b$ and electric potential $V$. First, we study the ergodic properties of $H$ and show, in particular, that its discrete spectrum is empty if there exists an almost periodic magnetic potentia
