“…The properties of plasma can be easily tuned by the external magnetic field, plasma density and the temperature of plasma, respectively. Therefore, the PPCs can be used to design the novel tunable devices, such as tunable filter [16], omnidirectional reflector [18] and polarization splitter [19]. As we know, the electron plasma density n e is located in 10 12 -10 16 cm −3 [12], which corresponds to electron plasma frequency ω p /2π = 10-1000 GHz, that means plasma PC can dynamically control electromagnetic waves from microwaves to THz waves.…”

Abstract-In this paper, the properties of anisotropic photonic band gaps (PBGs) in three-dimensional (3D) nomagnetized plasma photonic crystals (PPCs) composed of anisotropic dielectric (the uniaxial material) spheres immersed in uniform nomagnetized plasma background with various lattices including the diamond, face-centeredcubic (fcc), body-centered-cubic (bcc) and simple-cubic (sc) lattices, are theoretically investigated by the plane wave expansion (PWE) method. The equations for calculating the anisotropic PBGs in the first irreducible Brillouin zone are theoretically deduced. The anisotropic PBGs and a flatbands region can be obtained as the uniaxial material introduced into 3D PPCs. The PPCs with diamond lattices consisting of isotropic dielectric have the larger PBGs compared to PPCs doped by the uniaxial material since its low-symmetry structure. Furthermore, the PPCs with fcc, bcc, sc lattices will not exhibit a complete PBG unless the uniaxial material is introduced. The influences of the ordinary-refractive index, extraordinary-refractive index, filling factor and plasma frequency external magnetic field on the properties of anisotropic PBGs for 3D PPCs with fcc, bcc, sc lattices are investigated in detail, respectively, and some corresponding physical explanations are also given. The numerical results show that the anisotropy can open partial band gaps in 3D PPCs with fcc, bcc, sc lattices, and the complete PBGs can be obtained compared to 3D PPCs doped by the conventional isotropic dielectric. It also is shown that

“…Different devices are designed to meet the requirement for the propagation of electromagnetic wave frequencies by changing the photonic crystal structure, material parameters, filling ratio, etc. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Photonic crystals are categorized into one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and threedimensional photonic crystals with a periodic structure.…”

“…Therefore, the PPCs and MPPCs have been obtained an ever-increasing interesting in the theory and experiment. Recently, the properties of the one-and two-dimensional (2-D) PPCs and MPPCs have been investigated in detail, such as reported by Shiveshwari et al [9], Guo [10], Qi et al [11] and Zhang et al [12]. The properties of PBGs and defect modes of 1-D PPCs and MPPCs are investigated by finite difference time domain (FDTD) and transfer the matrix methods (TMM).…”

The dispersive properties and unusual surface plasmon modes in threedimensional (3-D) magnetized plasma photonic crystals (MPPCs) with face-centered-cubic lattices that are composed of the core tellurium (Te) spheres surrounded by the magnetized plasma shells inserted in the air are theoretically studied in detail by the plane-wave expansion method, as the magneto-optical Faraday effects of magnetized plasma are considered. Our analysis shows that the proposed 3-D MPPCs can obtain the complete photonic band gaps, which can be manipulated by the radius of core Te sphere, the plasma density, and the external magnetic field, respectively. We also find that a flatband region can be achieved, which is determined by the existence of surface plasmon modes. If the thickness of the magnetized plasma shell is less than a threshold value, the band structures of such 3-D MPPCs will be similar to those obtained from the same structure containing the pure magnetized plasma spheres. In this case, the inserted core sphere also will not affect the band structures. It is also noticed that the upper edge of flatband region does not depend on the topology of lattice.Index Terms: Three-dimensional magnetized plasma photonic crystals, Faraday effects, photonic band gaps, surface plasmon modes, plane wave expansion method.
