Spider Web-Like Phononic Crystals for Piezoelectric MEMS Resonators to Reduce Acoustic Energy Dissipation

Phononic crystals (PnC) are a remarkable example of acoustic metamaterials with superior wave attenuation mechanisms for piezoelectric micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) resonators to reduce the energy dissipation. Herein, a spider web-like PnC (<i>SW-PnC</i>) is proposed to suffici...
