Extremal transmission and beating effect of acoustic waves in two-dimensional sonic crystals

X Zhang, Z Liu - Physical review letters, 2008 - APS
The extremal transmission of the acoustic wave near the Dirac point in two-dimensional (2D)
sonic crystals, being inversely proportional to the thickness of sample, has been …

Bloch oscillations of THz acoustic phonons in coupled nanocavity structures

ND Lanzillotti-Kimura, A Fainstein, B Perrin… - Physical review …, 2010 - APS
Nanophononic Bloch oscillations and Wannier-Stark ladders have been recently predicted
to exist in specifically tailored structures formed by coupled nanocavities. Using pump-probe …

Experimental landau-zener tunneling for wave redirection in nonlinear waveguides

C Wang, A Kanj, A Mojahed, S Tawfick, AF Vakakis - Physical Review Applied, 2020 - APS

Bloch oscillations in tight-binding lattices with defects

S Longhi - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials …, 2010 - APS
Defects in tight-binding lattices generally destroy the onset of Bloch oscillations (BOs) and
the periodic self-imaging of the wave packet due to the lack of an equally spaced Wannier …

Characterization of avoided crossings in acoustic superlattices: The Shannon entropy in acoustics

J Sánchez-Dehesa, JR Arias-Gonzalez - Frontiers in Physics, 2022 - frontiersin.org
