Total transmission and total reflection of acoustic wave by zero index metamaterials loaded with general solid defects

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

This work investigates acoustic wave transmission property through a zero index metamaterials (ZIM) waveguide embedded with a general solid defect. Total transmission and total reflection can be achieved by adjusting the parameters of the solid defect. We comprehensively study how longitudinal/transverse wave speeds of the solid defect affect the acoustic wave propagation through the waveguide. A two-dimensional (2D) acoustic crystals (ACs) system with zero index is used to realize these intriguing transmission properties. Thus, our work provides more possibilities to manipulate acoustic wave propagation through ZIM.
