Abstract

We show that the resonant frequencies of a system of coupled resonators in a truncated periodic lattice converge to the essential spectrum of the corresponding infinite lattice. We use the capacitance matrix as a model for fully coupled subwavelength resonators with long-range interactions in three spatial dimensions. For one-, two- or three-dimensional lattices embedded in three-dimensional space, we show that the (discrete) density of states (DOS) for the finite system converges in distribution to the (continuous) DOS of the infinite system. We achieve this by proving a weak convergence of the finite capacitance matrix to corresponding (translationally invariant) Toeplitz matrix of the infinite structure. With this characterisation at hand, we use the truncated Floquet transform to introduce a notion of spectral band structure for finite materials. This principle is also applicable to structures that are not translationally invariant and have interfaces. We demonstrate this by considering examples of perturbed systems with defect modes, such as an analogue of the well-known interface Su–Schrieffer–Heeger model.
