Abstract
Spontaneous decay behaviors from an assembly of atoms (or molecules) in 3D photonic crystals (PC's) with pseudogaps are investigated. Theoretically, a lifetime distribution function for these atoms or molecules is defined to reveal decay kinetics. Our calculations show that quite wide or narrow lifetime distributions can occur for different spread configurations of the atoms (or molecules). The pure PC effect may lead to coexistence of both accelerated and inhibited decay processes. These results provide theoretical clarification for substantial discrepancies in the recent reported experiments.
