Read the full paper: here Link to the journal: here Transport properties of porous media are intimately linked to their pore-space microstructures. We quantify geometrical and topological descriptors of the pore space of certain disordered and ordered distributions of spheres, including pore-size functions and the critical pore radius \(\delta_c\). We focus on models of porous … Continue Reading “Critical pore radius and transport properties of disordered hard- and overlapping-sphere models” is Published in Physical Review E

Read the full paper: here Link to the journal: here Through an extensive series of high-precision numerical computations of the optimal complete photonic band gap (PBG) as a function of dielectric contrast \(\alpha\) for a variety of crystal and disordered heterostructures, we reveal striking universal behaviors of the gap sensitivity \(\mathcal{S}(\alpha)≡d\Delta(\alpha)/d\alpha\), the first derivative of … Continue Reading “Gap Sensitivity Reveals Universal Behaviors in Optimized Photonic Crystal and Disordered Networks” is Published in Physical Review Letters
