| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we theoretically analyzed the basic properties of a special dispersion relation of light, which is called photonic Dirac cone, proposed concrete specimen’s structures by numerical calculations, and proposed an experimental method to detect Dirac cones. In addition, we extended our analysis to other wave phenomena such as electronic waves. We proposed, in particular, a method to control the electron effective mass by the Dirac cone, which determines the easiness of the flow of electric currents.
