GTPhRodSmooth

GTPhRodSmooth[reciprocal lattice vector,structure]

gives a smoothed version of the structure factor of a rectangular rod.

Details and Options

  • The structure factor of a rectangular rod is constructed from structure factors of the dielectric slab. Therefore, the structure factor for a smoothed rectangular rod can be constructed from the structure factors of smoothed dielectric slabs. The smoothing is performed by a convolution with a Gaussian.
  • The structure is defined by:
  • structure=
  • is the filling factor, are the dimensions of the rod in - and -direction and is the half width of the Gaussian used for the convolution.
  • The reciprocal lattice vectors are given in units .
  • See: W. Hergert, M. Geilhufe, Group Theory in Solid State Physics and Photonics. Problem Solving with Mathematica, chapter 10.4

Examples

Basic Examples  (1)

First load the package:

The structure factors are calculated for a mesh of reciprocal lattice vectors corresponding to a square lattice. For comparison the structure factor is calculated without smoothing first.

Now a smooting is applied.
