Furthermore, they inherently support significant long-range interactions and radiation to the surrounding medium. Hence they are fundamentally different from traditional QP structures governed by the Harper's model or the almost-Mathieu operator. We present a mathematical framework for QP particle chains and study their electrodynamics. They support guided modes that exhibit a complex interaction with the light cone, and possess a two-dimensional fractal-like structure in the frequencywavenumber space thus making the unique definition of modal phase velocity impossible. However, a well-defined group velocity is revealed due to the fractals inner structure. We also show initial study of non-reciprocal QP structures.","PeriodicalId":143626,"journal":{"name":"2015 9th International Congress on Advanced Electromagnetic Materials in Microwaves and Optics (METAMATERIALS)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125439776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We illustrate these effects using the example of MnF2. In this crystal both the angle of refraction and the Goos-Hänchen shift become tunable when an external magnetic field is applied.","PeriodicalId":143626,"journal":{"name":"2015 9th International Congress on Advanced Electromagnetic Materials in Microwaves and Optics (METAMATERIALS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116009688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
