We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

In the periodic direction you should use Bloch BC.

"a" is the period;

and the absolute value of "k" is  [0 - pi/a].

when you change N, I am not sure if the bandstructure can keep the same since their absolute K is not the same. What I mean is their transmission changes a little, when you do a regular transmission simulation, like a grating. This should be done before you do the band structure simulation.
