Observation of Dual-band Topological Corner Modes in Acoustic Kagome Lattice with Long-range Interactions

Abstract

The recent exotic topological corner modes (CMs) in photonic higher-order topological insulators with long-distance interactions have attracted numerous attentions and enriched the physics than their condensed-matter counterparts. While the next-nearest-neighbour (NNN) coupling appears between NNN lattice sites unselectively, and the NNN coupling and their associated dynamics remains elusive in acoustics due to the waveguide-resonator model, an analogy of tight-binding model (TBM), drastically hinders its NNN coupling. Here, in acoustics, we demonstrate selective NNN coupling-induced CMs in split-ring resonators-based kagome crystal and observe dual-band CMs. Three types of CMs are demonstrated in the first bulk gap which can be explained by TBM considering NNN coupling and one type of CMs is observed in the second. All of these findings are verified theoretically and experimentally which reveals rich physics in acoustics, opening a new way towards tunable or multi-band metamaterials design, and offering opportunities for intriguing acoustic manipulation and energy localization.
