Band gaps in phononic crystals: Generation mechanisms and interaction effects

A wide range of mesoscopic phononic materials can exhibit frequency bands where transmission is forbidden, i.e. band gaps. Three different mechanisms for their origin can be distinguished, namely Bragg, hybridization and weak elastic coupling effects. Characteristic properties of gaps of different o...
