In modern technology, the manipulation of various types of waves—including light, sound, electronic, and magnetic waves—is fundamental to advancing a wide range of applications. This manipulation is predominantly achieved through the design of periodic structures at the nanoscale, often referred to as nanostructured crystals. These crystals are engineered materials with precisely controlled periodic arrangements of their constituent elements, enabling them to interact with and control waves in ways that are not possible with conventional materials.
