Role of edge dislocation and Si impurity in linking the blue luminescence and yellow luminescence in n-type GaN films
A close relationship is found between the blue and yellow luminescence bands in n-type GaN films, which are grown without intentional acceptor doping. The intensity ratio of blue luminescence to yello...

We study the properties of electromagnetic Bloch waves in semi-infinite periodic structures created by alternating metamaterial and dielectric layers. We derive and analyze the dispersion relations in the long-wavelength limit for both TE- and TM-polarized surface Bloch modes for magnetic metamaterials with negative refraction and metal-dielectric plasmonic superlattices. We reveal that in the subwavelength regime, the bulk modes are characterized by three different refractive indices (“trirefringence”), while the surface modes can propagate parallel to the Bloch wavevector and along the interface between superlattice and semi-infinite dielectric. ©2009 American Institute of Physics
