Outline of Final Research Achievements

A localized wave oscillates with a large amplitude in a spatially limited region and evanescently decays away from it. We have studied mechanisms of localized-wave formation in two-dimensional crystals, focusing on crystal deformations, which continuously introduce defects. The obtained theoretical results are as follows: (i) When considering spatial translations of crystals along two directions, corner states appear at the produced corner defects. (ii) Spatial translations along two opposite directions can produce wave localization at the boundary of the crystals, although they have zero displacement as a vector sum. Moreover, we have experimentally verified these two mechanisms.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

欠陥周りで生じる波動局在化現象は90年以上前から知られているもののなぜ波動局在が生じるのか、という問は捉えどころがなくアプローチすることは難しかった。本研究では欠陥の連続的導入を考え、2次元結晶ならではの局在波形成メカニズムを明らかにした。局在波は分野を問わず現れる。例えば、半導体に不純物を注入して生じる局在波は半導体デバイスの動作において決定的な役割を果たしているし、フォトニック結晶ではエネルギーを小さな領域に集中させるために欠陥導波路が利用される。このため、本研究は様々なデバイス応用への展開が期待される。
