报告介绍 | Abstract:
Phononic crystals are artificial periodical structures with energy bands for sound in momentum space. Dirac conic dispersions can be realized at the Brillouin zone corners of the crystals with hexagonal lattice. By reducing the symmetry of the crystals, the degeneracy at Dirac point can be lifted and a bandgap opens, and two inequivalent valleys with opposite vortex appear. The valley vortex states which carry angular momentum exert torque on particles dispersed in the fields. Breaking symmetry differently leads to phononic crystals with inverse band gaps, and when they are put together, topological one-way edge states emerge on the interfaces.
