Surface Bound States in the Continuum in Dyakonov Structures
arXiv:2205.07940 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.105.L201406
Abstract
Surface bound states in the continuum (SBICs) have been found to occur in diverse settings, but so far always at the interface of non-homogeneous media, such as discrete lattices or periodic systems. Here we show that they can also exist at the interface of homogeneous media, resulting in unique SBICs. Specifically, we found that, contrary to general belief, leaky Dyakonov states exist at the interface between materials that exhibit opposite signs of anisotropy. In addition, properly breaking the anisotropy-symmetry leads to the formation of both guided states and also SBICs embedded within the continuum. A direct implication of our finding is the possibility to create SBICs and Dyakonov states in a whole new class of materials and metamaterials.
