Extremal transmission and beating effect of acoustic wave in two-dimensional sonic crystal

Abstract

The extremal transmission of acoustic wave near the Dirac point in two-dimensional (2D) sonic crystal (SC), being inversely proportional to the thickness of sample, has been demonstrated experimentally for the first time. Some unusual beating effects have been observed experimentally when the acoustic pulse transport through the 2D SC slabs. Such phenomena are completely different from the oscillations of the wave in a slab or cavity originating from the interface reflection or Fabry-Perot effect. They can be regarded as acoustic analogue to Zitterbewegung of relativistic electron. The physical origination for the phenomenon has been analyzed.
