Bloch wave – MoM method the wave numbers in any of the 3 periodic coordinate directions. This can happen for example when the free space wavelength exactly equals the lattice spacing. This is a statistically rare occurrence in computational practice and corresponds to a propagation anomaly similar to a Wood's reflection anomaly for gratings. To compute bands of the crystal (i.e. "k"-"k" diagrams), successive values of frequency ("k") are tried - in conjunction with pre-selected values of propagation constant ("k") and propagation direction (θ & φ) - until a combination is found which drives the determinant of the matrix to zero. Equation (4.2) has been
The Crests group continued as a trio of Carter, Ancrum, and Lewis and became a lounge act, disbanding in 1978. Carter went to sing with Charlie Thomas' Drifters for a year, then moved to Plainfield, New Jersey, to teach voice and set up his own recording studio. In 1973, Carter met his wife Leona, an accomplished classical pianist/composer. Leona Carter has been a part of The Crests since then. Carter reformed The Crests in 1980, auditioning over 200 singers at his studio, finally settling on lead Bill Damon (a Maestro sound-alike), Greg Sereck, Dennis Ray and New York drummer, Jon Ihle. The
