Symmetry Breaking Creates Electro-Momentum Coupling in Piezoelectric Metamaterials

Abstract
Metamaterials posses microstructure designed to acquire properties not found in nature. An epitome in acoustics and solid mechanics is Willis coupling, which refers to the particle velocity-stress coupling, and of great significance since it controls mechanical waves. We here reveal new couplings, analogous to Willis coupling, when considering patterns of materials that mechanically interact with magnetic, electric or thermal fields. To this end, we develop a rigorous homogenization method for the effective properties of such responsive metamaterials. As an example, we apply the scheme to piezoelectric materials, and unveil coupling of the velocity and electric fields. Hence, Willis-like couplings in responsive metamaterials open new avenues for active wave control by modulation of external stimuli.
