Abstract
This study presents a glide-reflection (GR) symmetrical phononic crystal (PC), and the mismatch of the Wannier center between two PCs leads to the emergence of edge states. By stacking multiple GR symmetric PC interfaces, the coupled edge states (CES) are found, which originate from the coupling between the adjacent interfaces. The multi-mode interference (MMI) effects of CESs were predicted based on finite element method simulation and confirmed by an acoustic experiment. In a further way, a topological edge state frequency splitter based on MMI effects was designed and demonstrated by both numerical simulations and experiments. Our research provides insights for the design of acoustic devices such as filters and couplers and may contribute to the advancement of acoustic signal processing.
期刊介绍:
Applied Physics Letters (APL) features concise, up-to-date reports on significant new findings in applied physics. Emphasizing rapid dissemination of key data and new physical insights, APL offers prompt publication of new experimental and theoretical papers reporting applications of physics phenomena to all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology.
In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes invited Fast Track, Perspectives, and in-depth Editorials which report on cutting-edge areas in applied physics.
APL Perspectives are forward-looking invited letters which highlight recent developments or discoveries. Emphasis is placed on very recent developments, potentially disruptive technologies, open questions and possible solutions. They also include a mini-roadmap detailing where the community should direct efforts in order for the phenomena to be viable for application and the challenges associated with meeting that performance threshold. Perspectives are characterized by personal viewpoints and opinions of recognized experts in the field.
Fast Track articles are invited original research articles that report results that are particularly novel and important or provide a significant advancement in an emerging field. Because of the urgency and scientific importance of the work, the peer review process is accelerated. If, during the review process, it becomes apparent that the paper does not meet the Fast Track criterion, it is returned to a normal track.
