Abstract
The Jahn-Teller effect in electronic solids is an example of electron-phonon interaction, which lifts the degeneracy of orbitally degenerate electronic states by symmetry lowering distortions of nuclear configurations.[1] A close analogy between defect states in the energy band gap of the semiconductors and decaying states inside the photon band gap of photonic crystals with defects allows one to observe the Jahn-Teller effect in the photonic crystals.
