Negative refraction imaging of solid acoustic waves by two-dimensional three-component phononic crystal

By using of the multiple scattering methods, we study the negative refraction imaging effect of solid acoustic waves by two-dimensional three-component phononic crystals composed of coated solid inclusions placed in solid matrix. We show that localized resonance mechanism brings on a group of flat single-mode bands in low-frequency region, which provides two equivalent frequency surfaces (EFS) close to circular. The two constant frequency surfaces correspond to two Bloch modes, a right-handed and a left-handed, whose leading mode are respectively transverse (T) and longitudinal (L) modes. The negative refraction behaviors of the two kinds of modes have been demonstrated by simulation of a Gaussian beam through a finite system. High-quality far-field imaging by a planar lens for transverse or longitudinal waves has been realized separately. This three-component phononic crystal may thus serve as a mode selector in negative refraction imaging of solid acoustic waves.     

Individual and collective vibrational modes of nanostructures studied by picosecond ultrasonics

We report on picosecond ultrasonic measurements obtained on aluminum and platinum nanostructures with variable dot size and lateral periodicity which realized a 2D phononic crystal. Performing investigations at different resolution scales, we have identified individual modes of vibration depending on the dot size, and mode of vibration strongly correlated with the bi-dimensional organization. The platinum dots sputtered on an aluminum layer have shown a behavior of isolated oscillators without any coupling between neighbor elements in this phononic crystal. The frequency of such normal modes, extracted from time resolved measurements are in good agreement with 3D finite element simulations. In contrast, with aluminum dot systems where the coupling is more efficient we observe a complex spectrum of vibrational modes related to the band structure induced by the bi-dimensional patterning.     

Band gap structures for viscoelastic phononic crystals based on numerical and experimental investigation

Many materials used as phononic crystals (PCs) are viscoelastic one. It is believed that viscosity results in damping to attenuate wave propagation, which may help to tune the defect modes or band gaps of viscoelastic phononic crystals. To investigate above phenomenon, firstly, we have extended the application of boundary element method (BEM) to the study of viscoelastic phononic crystals with and without a point defect. A new developed BEM within the framework of Bloch theory can easily deal with viscoelastic phononic crystals with arbitrary shapes of the scatterers. Experimental methods have been put forward based on the self-made viscoelastic phononic crystals. Verified by the experimental results, systematic comprehensive parametric studies on the band structure of viscoelastic phononic crystals with varying factors (final–initial value ratio, relaxation time, volume fraction of scatterers, shapes of scatterers) have been discussed by the numerical simulation. To further address the possibility to change the defect modes, the band structure of viscoelastic phononic crystals with a point defect has been studied based on the numerical and experimental methods. From present research work, it can be found that by adjusting the two viscous parameters combined with considering the effect of volume fraction and shapes, a wider and lower initial forbidden frequency or lower and higher quality factor resonant frequency can be obtained.     

Absolute band gaps and waveguiding in free standing and supported phononic crystal slabs

Using the finite element method (FEM), we investigate the existence of absolute band gaps and localized modes associated with a guide in thin films of phononic crystals. Two different structures based on two-dimensional (2D) phononic crystals are considered, namely a free standing plate and a plate deposited on a silicon substrate. The 2D phononic crystal is constituted by a square array of cylindrical holes drilled in an active piezoelectric PZT5A matrix. We demonstrate the existence of absolute band gap in the band structure of the phononic crystal plate and, then, the possibility of guided modes inside a linear defect created by removing one row of air holes. In the case of the supported plate, we show the existence of an absolute forbidden band in the plate modes when the thickness of the substrate significantly exceeds the plate thickness.     

Interaction of Love waves with coupled cavity modes in a 2D holey phononic crystal

The interaction of Love waves with square array of pillars deposited on a cavity defined in a 2D holey phononic crystal is numerically investigated using Finite Element Method. First, the existence of SH surface modes is demonstrated separately for phononic crystals that consist of square arrayed holes, or rectangular arrayed Ni pillars, respectively in, or on, a SiO₂ film deposited on a ST-cut quartz substrate. The coupling between SH modes and torsional mode in pillars induces a transmission dip that occurs at a frequency located in the range of the band-gap of the holey phononic crystal. Second, a cavity is constructed by removing lines of holes in the holey phononic crystal and results in a transmission peak that matches the dip. The optimal geometrical parameters enable us to create a coupling of the cavity mode and the localized pillar mode by introducing lines of pillars into the cavity, which significantly improved the efficiency of the cavity without increasing the crystal size. The obtained results will pave the way to implement advanced designs of high-performance electroacoustic sensors based on coupling modes in phononic crystals.

本文提出了一种新型局域共振复合单元声子晶体结构, 并结合有限元方法对结构的带隙机理及低频共振带隙特性进行了分析和研究. 共振带隙产生的频率位置由所对应的局域共振模态的固有频率决定, 并且带隙宽度与局域共振模态的品质因子及其与基体之间的耦合作用强度有关. 采用局域共振复合单元结构可以实现声子晶体的多重共振, 在低频范围能打开多条共振带隙, 但受到共振单元排列方式的的影响. 由于纵向和横向局域共振模态的简并, 复合单元结构能在200 Hz以下的低频范围打开超过60%宽度的共振带隙, 最低带隙频率低至18 Hz. 这为声子晶体结构获得低频、超低频带隙提供了一种有效的方法. 关键词： 局域共振 低频带隙 复合单元 声子晶体

Quality enhancement and insertion loss reduction of a rectangular resonator by employing an ultra-wide band gap diamond phononic crystal

We report on an ‘in plane mode’ band gaps investigation of a novel diamond CRS (circle-rectangle-square) shaped holey phononic crystals in the desired operating frequency ranges. An ultra-wide band gap for diamond in the ‘in plane mode’ is observed. We also investigate an ultra-wide acoustic band gap for a finite one-dimensional (1D) diamond CRS phononic crystal (PnC) in the ‘out of plane mode’, and an ultra-wide acoustic band gap of a finite two-dimensional (2D) diamond CRS phononic crystal (PnC) in the ‘out of plane mode’ based on the FEA (Finite Element Analysis) method. We analyze that the transmission response of diamond in the length extension and width extension manner is more reasonable. Ultra-wide peak attenuations in the transmission spectra of a CRS shaped diamond phononic crystal successfully reveal the complete band gaps. The wide band gap of a CRS shaped diamond phononic crystal and the wide peak attenuation strongly agree in the same frequency region. It is analyzed that when a CRS-diamond phononic crystal is employed for MEMS resonators with different tether widths the quality Q of the resonators improved, and the energy losses decrease with extremely low insertion loss. In addition, it is observed that the vibrational displacement of a resonator is reduced by employing a diamond phononic crystal.     

Effect of the internal rib structure of the inclusions on the two-dimensional phononic crystal composed of periodic slotted tubes in air

Using a finite element method based on the Bloch theorem, a new phononic crystal composed of periodic slotted tubes with internal rib structure in air is investigated. Two parallel plates with slit are introduced into the inclusion as the internal rib structure and its effect on band gaps is studied. The band structure and acoustic modes of the PC are calculated. Results show that the starting frequency of the first band gap is rather lower than that of slotted tubes without rib structure. The internal rib structure plays an important role in both the lower and upper edges of the first band gap. Some rib structural parameters are also studied for their effects on the first band gap. Results show that the first gap can be modulated widely by these parameters and the Helmholtz resonator theory can be used to explain the relationship between the band gap and the parameters.

Phononic gaps induced by inertial amplification in BCC and FCC lattices

In this study, infinite and finite periodic body centered cubic (BCC) and face centered cubic (FCC) lattices with and without inertial amplification mechanisms are investigated. These three-dimensional lattices are modeled with mass and spring elements that are parametrically varied to observe their effect on phononic gap (stop band) limits. When inertial amplification mechanisms are used in both of the infinite periodic lattices, wide low frequency band gaps are generated. Moreover, wide and deep phononic gaps are obtained by using moderate amount of unit cells in the case of finite periodic lattices.

Hypersonic phononic crystals

In this Letter we propose the use of hypersonic phononic crystals to control the emission and propagation of high frequency phonons. We report the fabrication of high quality, single crystalline hypersonic crystals using interference lithography and show that direct measurement of their phononic band structure is possible with Brillouin light scattering. Numerical calculations are employed to explain the nature of the observed propagation modes. This work lays the foundation for experimental studies of hypersonic crystals and, more generally, phonon-dependent processes in nanostructures.
