Resonant Photonic Bandgap Nanostructures

Abstract

Here we are expanding our existing program in which we are investigating the creation, control and transport of spin-polarized populations and currents. In addition to extending our previous switch operation to room temperature, this expansion is for the specific purpose of investigating spin-based switching in a new class of materials called resonant photonic bandgap (RPBG) nanostrucures. The proposed expansion will provide for (i) the growth of these nanostructures, (ii) switch development, (iii) the fundamental studies of promising switching processes, and (iv) the necessary theoretical support in the same package.
