In an infinite periodic array of nanoparticles, the excitations of the nanoparti

(assuming the incident external field has the same periodicity,
|

\begin_inset Formula $\coeffr_{\mathrm{ext}(i\nu)}=e^{i\vect k\cdot\vect R_{i}}p_{\mathrm{ext}\left(\nu\right)}$
|

\end_inset

) where
|

\begin_inset Formula $\nu$

is the index of a particle inside one unit cell and
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $\vect R_{i},\vect R_{i'}\in\Lambda$
|

|

|

are the lattice vectors corresponding to the sites (labeled by multiindices

\begin_inset Formula $i,i'$

\begin_inset Formula $\Lambda$

|

The multiple-scattering problem (
|

\begin_inset CommandInset ref
|

|
||
|

\end_inset

\end_layout
|

\begin_layout Standard
|

\begin_inset Formula

\[
|

\coeffs_{i\nu}-T_{\nu}\sum_{(i',\nu')\ne\left(i,\nu\right)}S_{i\nu,i'\nu'}e^{i\vect k\cdot\left(\vect R_{i'}-\vect R_{i}\right)}\coeffs_{i\nu'}=T_{\nu}\coeffr_{\mathrm{ext}(i\nu)}

|

or, labeling
|

\begin_inset Formula $W_{\nu\nu'}=\sum_{i';(i',\nu')\ne\left(i,\nu\right)}S_{i\nu,i'\nu'}e^{i\vect k\cdot\left(\vect R_{i'}-\vect R_{i}\right)}=\sum_{i';(i',\nu')\ne\left(0,\nu\right)}S_{0\nu,i'\nu'}e^{i\vect k\cdot\vect R_{i'}}$
|

\end_inset
|

|

and using the quasiperiodicity,
|
||
\begin_inset Formula
|

\begin{equation}
|

\sum_{\nu'}\left(\delta_{\nu\nu'}\mathbb{I}-T_{\nu}W_{\nu\nu'}\right)\coeffs_{\nu'}=T_{\nu}\coeffr_{\mathrm{ext}(\nu)},\label{eq:multiple scattering per particle a periodic}

\end{equation}
|

|

\end_inset

which reduces the linear problem (

|

|

A problematic part is the evaluation of the translation operator lattice
|

sums
|

\begin_inset Formula $W_{\nu\nu'}$

\begin_layout Standard

In an infinite periodic system, a nonlossy mode supports itself without
|

external driving, i.e.
|
||
such mode is described by excitation coefficients
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $a_{\nu}$
|

\end_inset
|

|

that satisfy eq.
|

(

|
||
|

) with zero right-hand side.
|
||
That can happen if the block matrix
|
||
\begin_inset Formula
|
||
\begin{equation}
|

M\left(\omega,\vect k\right)=\left\{ \delta_{\nu\nu'}\mathbb{I}-T_{\nu}\left(\omega\right)W_{\nu\nu'}\left(\omega,\vect k\right)\right\} _{\nu\nu'}\label{eq:M matrix definition}
|
||
\end{equation}
|
||
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
from the left hand side of (
|
||
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
|
||

|

|
||
|
||

|

|

) is singular (here we explicitly note the
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $\omega,\vect k$
|

\end_inset
|

|

depence).
|

\end_layout

For lossy nanoparticles, however, perfect propagating modes will not exist

and

\begin_inset Formula $M\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$
|

\end_inset
|
||
|
||
will never be perfectly singular.
|
||
Therefore in practice, we get the bands by scanning over
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $\omega,\vect k$
|

\end_inset
|
||
|
||
to search for
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $M\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$

A general overview of utilizing group theory to find lattice modes at high-symme
|

try points of the Brillouin zone can be found e.g.

|

key "dresselhaus_group_2008"

; here we use the same notation.

We analyse the symmetries of the system in the same VSWF representation
|
||
as used in the
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $T$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
-matrix formalism introduced above.
|
||
We are interested in the modes at the
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $\Kp$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
-point of the hexagonal lattice, which has the
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $D_{3h}$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
point symmetry.
|
||
The six irreducible representations (irreps) of the
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $D_{3h}$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
group are known and are available in the literature in their explicit forms.
|
||
In order to find and classify the modes, we need to find a decomposition
|
||
of the lattice mode representation
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $\Gamma_{\mathrm{lat.mod.}}=\Gamma^{\mathrm{equiv.}}\otimes\Gamma_{\mathrm{vec.}}$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
into the irreps of
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $D_{3h}$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
.
|
||
The equivalence representation
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $\Gamma^{\mathrm{equiv.}}$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
is the
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $E'$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
representation as can be deduced from
|
||
\begin_inset CommandInset citation

, eq.
|
||
(11.19) and the character table for
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $D_{3h}$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
.
|
||
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $\Gamma_{\mathrm{vec.}}$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
operates on a space spanned by the VSWFs around each nanoparticle in the
|
||
unit cell (the effects of point group operations on VSWFs are described
|
||
in
|
||
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
|
||
LatexCommand cite
|
||
key "schulz_point-group_1999"
|
||
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
).
|
||
This space can be then decomposed into invariant subspaces of the
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $D_{3h}$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
using the projectors
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $\hat{P}_{ab}^{\left(\Gamma\right)}$

\end_inset
|
||
|

.
|
||
This way, we obtain a symmetry adapted basis
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $\left\{ \vect b_{\Gamma,r,i}^{\mathrm{s.a.b.}}\right\} $
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|

as linear combinations of VSWFs
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $\vswfs lm{p,t}$
|

\end_inset
|
||
|
||
around the constituting nanoparticles (labeled
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $p$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
),
|
||
\begin_inset Formula
|
||
\[
|
||
\vect b_{\Gamma,r,i}^{\mathrm{s.a.b.}}=\sum_{l,m,p,t}U_{\Gamma,r,i}^{p,t,l,m}\vswfs lm{p,t},
|
||
\]
|

|

\end_inset
|
||
|
||
where
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $\Gamma$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
stands for one of the six different irreps of
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $D_{3h}$
|

\end_inset
|
||
|
||
,
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $r$
|

\end_inset
|

labels the different realisations of the same irrep, and the last index
|

\begin_inset Formula $i$

going from 1 to

\begin_inset Formula $d_{\Gamma}$

|

|
||
(the dimensionality of

\begin_inset Formula $\Gamma$

) labels the different partners of the same given irrep.
|

The number of how many times is each irrep contained in
|

\begin_inset Formula $\Gamma_{\mathrm{lat.mod.}}$
|

\end_inset
|

(i.e.

that, at the

\begin_inset Formula $\Kp$
|

-point, the matrix
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $M\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
defined above takes a block-diagonal form in the symmetry-adapted basis,
|
||
|
||
\begin_inset Formula
|
||
\[
|
||
M\left(\omega,\vect K\right)_{\Gamma,r,i;\Gamma',r',j}^{\mathrm{s.a.b.}}=\frac{\delta_{\Gamma\Gamma'}\delta_{ij}}{d_{\Gamma}}\sum_{q}M\left(\omega,\vect K\right)_{\Gamma,r,q;\Gamma',r',q}^{\mathrm{s.a.b.}}.
|

\]
|
||
|

\end_inset
|

This enables us to decompose the matrix according to the irreps and to solve

the singular value problem in each irrep separately, as done in Fig.
