Nano and micro scale "periodic" materials can exhibit unique physical properties. Interference lithography is a versatile technique for fabricating these materials in a 2D and 3D. For the first time, this book presents a comprehensive study on the theoretical design, fabrication, and practical applications of periodic materials. Separated into three clearly defined parts, it sets out with a theoretical method for the design of desirable periodic structures, then presents the interference lithography technique. Subsequently, theory ad numerical data are used to demonstrate how these periodic structures control the photonic, acoustic, and mechanical properties of materials, concluding with examples of applications from these three important fields. The result is must-have knowledge for both beginners and experts in the field. From the content: Theory: Analytical description and design of periodic structure by using Fourier series formulas. Experimental: Practical aspects of fabricating periodic structures by interference lithography. Applications: Introduction to photonic and phononic crystals, and elastic mechanical properties of materials. Appendices: Matlab programs to calculate reflectance from one-dimensional photonic and phononic crystals.
