Abstract

In this paper, we present an extension of the plane-wave method (PWM) to compute the complex band structure of thermal wave crystals (TWCs). The structural periodicity of TWC allows the possibility to manipulate non-Fourier heat via wave interference. While the Cattaneo-Vernotte (CV) heat conduction theory accurately models oscillatory wave-like propagation of heat in TWCs, obtaining an eigenvalue equation for frequency using the CV wave equation is not possible. To overcome this limitation, we propose a novel approach that solves a complex eigenvalue equation for the Bloch wave vectors
