Towards tunable graphene phononic crystals
arXiv:2305.09577 · doi:10.1088/2053-1583/acec58
Abstract
Phononic crystals (PnCs) are artificially patterned media exhibiting bands of allowed and forbidden zones for phonons. Many emerging applications of PnCs from solid-state simulators to quantum memories could benefit from the on-demand tunability of the phononic band structure. Here, we demonstrate the fabrication of suspended graphene PnCs in which the phononic band structure is controlled by mechanical tension applied electrostatically. We show signatures of a mechanically tunable phononic band gap. The experimental data supported by simulation suggest a phononic band gap at 2833 MHz in equilibrium, which upshifts by 9 MHz under a mechanical tension of 3.1 Nm. This is an essential step towards tunable phononics paving the way for more experiments on phononic systems based on 2D materials.
