The bandgap properties of 2D 8-fold symmetric photonic quasicrystals (PQCs) composed of a set of rods are numerically investigated for various fill factors, dielectric constants and propagation angles using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. Some interesting properties are found beside
Optical conductivities and dielectric functions derived from the IR-optical reflectivity spectra exhibit clear similarities between icosahedral boron-rich structures and Al-based isosahedral quasicyrstals. This suggests a close qualitative relationship of their electronic structures. Accordingly ico
