Abstract

In this paper, we present a numerical technique to calculate the surface acoustic wave (SAW) in a two-dimensional phononic crystal (PC). By the technique, the SAW in the system, which is obtained by adding an additional composite surface layer on the xy-cut surface of a two-dimensional PC, is investigated. Result shows that the behavior of SAW in the studied system is mainly determined by the residual penetration depth of the SAW into the PC structure. Based on this understanding, we show that the SAW in the band gap of the PC can be controlled efficiently by changing the structure of the surface layer.
