Simulations of acoustic waves bandgaps in a surface of silicon with a periodic hole structure in a thin nickel film

We have performed simulations of dispersion relations for surface acoustic waves in two-dimensional phononic crystal by the finite elements method (FEM) and by the plane wave method (PWM). Considered medium is a thin nickel layer on a silicon single crystal (001) surface. The nickel film is decorate...
