it can be block-diagonalized into eight blocks of size about

\begin_inset Formula $N/8\times N/8$

that

\begin_inset Formula $D_{2h}$

usually the evaluation of the lattice sums in the

\end_inset
|

|

However, the lattice modes can be searched for in each irrep separately,
|

and the irrep dimension gives a priori information about mode degeneracy.

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.
|

in

\begin_layout Standard

|

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

(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

\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 $\hat{P}_{ab}^{\left(\Gamma\right)}$

|

This way, we obtain a symmetry adapted basis
|

\begin_inset Formula $\left\{ \vect b_{\Gamma,r,i}^{\mathrm{s.a.b.}}\right\} $
|

\end_inset
|

\begin_inset Formula $\vswfs lm{p,t}$

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 $i$

\end_inset
|

|

going from 1 to

\begin_inset Formula $d_{\Gamma}$

|

|

(the dimensionality of

\begin_inset Formula $\Gamma$

The number of how many times is each irrep contained in

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

that, at the

\begin_inset Formula $\Kp$
|

\end_inset
|

|

-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.
