We also present some results on the band structure and the absorption coefficient of light by photonic crystals consisting of non-overlapping silver-coated spheres in a dielectric medium.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1-3</style></issue></record></records></xml>
