Magic configurations in moiré superlattice of bilayer photonic crystals: Almost-perfect flatbands and unconventional localization

We investigate the physics of photonic band structures of the moiré patterns that emerged when overlapping two unidimensional photonic crystal slabs with mismatched periods. The band structure of our system is a result of the interplay between intralayer and interlayer coupling mechanisms, which can...
