© 2022 Elsevier B.V.III–V semiconductors are extensively used in infrared sensor applications due to their superior structural and optical properties. Due to the extremes in the manufacturing and operating temperatures of the sensors, the knowledge of temperature-dependent elastic constants of these materials is of great importance. However, reliable measurements across a large range of temperatures prove difficult due to limitations of experimental setups. Density functional theory calculations present an affordable alternative. In this work, temperature-dependent elastic properties of InSb and GaSb are investigated using density functional theory within the quasiharmonic approximation. Calculated properties relevant for operation in a wide temperature range are presented including second order elastic constants, Young's modulus (E), shear modulus (μ), Poisson's ratio ν and the coefficient of thermal expansion (α). Our results are compared to available experimental values and good agreement is observed.

Analytical Fresnel imaging models for photon sieves
Öktem, Sevinç Figen; Davila, Joseph M. (The Optical Society, 2018-11-21)
Photon sieves are a fairly new class of diffractive lenses that open unprecedented possibilities for high resolution imaging and spectroscopy, especially at short wavelengths such as UV and x-rays. In this paper, we model and analyze the image formation process of photon sieves using Fourier optics. We derive closed-form Fresnel imaging models that relate an input object to the image formed by a photon sieve system, both for coherent and incoherent illumination. These analytical models also provide a closed...

Asymmetric transmission of linearly polarized electromagnetic waves using chiral metamaterials with constant chirality over a certain frequency band
Akgöl, Oğuzhan; Dinçer, Furkan; Karaaslan, Muharrem; Ünal, Emin; Sabah, Cumali (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2014-12-30)
In this study, a dynamic chiral metamaterial (MTM) structure leading to an asymmetric electromagnetic (EM) wave transmission for linear polarization is presented. The structure is composed of square-shaped resonator with gaps on both sides of a dielectric substrate with a certain degree of rotation. The dynamic structure is adjustable via various parameters to fit any desired frequency ranges. Theoretical and experimental analysis of the proposed structure are conducted and given in detail. The suggested mo...
Surface Wave Suppression Properties of Perforated Artificial Impedance Surfaces
Durgun, Ahmet Cemal; Birtcher, Craig R. (2013-01-01)
Surface wave suppression properties of Perforated Artificial Impedance Surfaces (PAIS) are investigated. It is shown that, by a proper choice of perforation geometry, surface wave propagation can be suppressed without the need of vias. This significantly decreases fabrication costs. It is also possible to overlap the surface wave suppression and reflection phase bands of the PAIS. Due to the rotational asymmetry of the structure, surface wave suppression is achieved in only one direction.
