Surface Impedance and Bulk Band Geometric Phases in One-Dimensional Systems

Surface impedance is an important concept in classical wave systems such as photonic crystals (PCs). For example, the condition of an interface state formation in the interfacial region of two different one-dimensional PCs is simplyZ_{SL}+Z_{SR}=0, where Z_{SL}(Z_{SR})is the surface impedance of the...
