Universal spin-momentum locking of evanescent waves
Van Mechelan, Todd, and Zubin Jacob. 2016. “Universal spin-momentum locking of evanescent waves”. Optica 3 (2): 118-26.
Picophotonics
Singular evanescent wave resonances in moving media Resonators fold the path of light by reflections leading to a phase balance and thus constructive addition of propagating waves. However, the amplitude decrease of these waves due to incomplete reflection or material absorption leads to a finite...
Xueji Wang named 2022 DARPA Riser
Exciting news as Xueji Wang, PhD student in our group, has been selected as a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Riser for 2022. Mr. Wang will participate in the DARPA’s Forward conference series that provides networking opportunities to discover and engage new talents.
Bulk Properties of Topological Crystalline Insulators
Seminar Link: Picoelectrodynamics Theory Network - YouTube Abstract The discovery of topological materials is one of the most transformative recent breakthroughs in condensed matter physics, revealing new conceptual surprises in established topics such as the phases of matter and the behavior of...
Pico-electrodynamics
Seminar Link: Picoelectrodynamics Theory Network - YouTube Abstract Over the past three decades, graphene has become the prototypical platform for discovering topological phases of matter. Both the Chern C∈Z and quantum spin Hall υ∈Z2 insulators were first predicted in graphene, which led to a...
Pico-electrodynamics by Dr. Sathwik Bharadwaj
Dr. Sathwik Bharadwaj spoke about the concept of photonic frequency (ω) - momentum (q) dispersion that has been extensively studied in artificial dielectric structures such as photonic crystals and metamaterials. However, the ω-q dispersion of electrodynamic excitations hosted in natural materials...
Polarization and Magnetization Fields: Towards A “Post-Modern” Theory by Prof. John E. Sipe
We launched the pico-seminar series and our first speaker in the series is a pioneer in the field of theoretical quantum optics - Prof. John Sipe from the University of Toronto. He discussed the “post-modern” approach that can be used to address the response of crystals to electromagnetic fields...
A Contemporary View On Topological Band Theory & New Euler Class Phenomena
Seminar Link: Picoelectrodynamics Theory Network - YouTube A Contemporary View On Topological Band Theory & New Euler Class Phenomena In this talk, I will cover a selection of our recent work on topological characterizations in a rather colloquial style. In particular, I will review how constraints...
Polarization and Magnetization
Seminar Link: Picoelectrodynamics Theory Network - YouTube Microscopic polarization and magnetization fields: Towards a “post-modern” theory The response of solids to incident electromagnetic fields is often heuristically described in terms of macroscopic polarization and magnetization fields. In...
