Band-gap tuning in 2D spatiotemporal phononic crystals
arXiv:2008.11597 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevApplied.15.014022
Abstract
We investigate the effect of small spatiotemporal modulations in subwavelength-dimensioned phononic crystals with large band gaps, on the frequency spectrum for elastic waves polarized in the plane of periodicity. When the radius of cylinders periodically placed inside a matrix of highly-contrasting elastic properties is time-varying, we find that due to the appearance of frequency harmonics throughout the spectrum, the notion of a band gap is destroyed in general, although with the appropriate tuning of parameters, in particular the modulation frequency, it is possible that some band-gap region is retained, making such systems possible candidates for tunable bandpass filters or phononic isolators, accordingly, and for sensor applications.
