Enhanced quality factors at resonance in acoustofluidic cavities embedded in matched elastic metamaterials
arXiv:2510.25527 · doi:10.1103/vcxl-g1pb
Abstract
We show that by embedding liquid-filled acoustofluidic cavities in a metamaterial, the quality factor of the cavity at selected acoustic resonance modes can be enhanced by 2 to 3 orders of magnitude relative to a comparable conventional cavity by matching the coarse-grained elastic moduli of the metamaterial to the acoustic properties of the liquid.
