Tailoring k-Space Functionalities by Design in Phononic Crystals

K-space functionalities in 2-D phononic crystals (PCs) were studied through the use of the finite difference time domain method (FDTD) as well as the plane wave expansion method (PWE) to solve for the propagation behavior of acoustic waves in these periodic structures. Each of these methods are full...
