Drawing Dispersion Curves: Band Structure Customization via Nonlocal Phononic Crystals

Dispersion relations govern wave behaviors, and tailoring them is a grand challenge in wave manipulation. We demonstrate the inverse design of phononic dispersion using nonlocal interactions on one-dimensional spring-mass chains. For both single-band and double-band cases, we can achieve any valid d...

Description
Summary:Dispersion relations govern wave behaviors, and tailoring them is a grand challenge in wave manipulation. We demonstrate the inverse design of phononic dispersion using nonlocal interactions on one-dimensional spring-mass chains. For both single-band and double-band cases, we can achieve any valid dispersion curves with analytical precision. We further employ our method to design phononic crystals with multiple ordinary (roton or maxon) and higher-order (undulation) critical points and investigate their wave packet dynamics.
