Abstract
We used the transfer matrix method to investigate the conditions supporting the existence of directional bulk waves in a two-dimensional (2D) phononic crystal. The 2D crystal was a square lattice of unit cells composed of rectangular subunits constituted of two different isotropic continuous media. We established the conditions on the geometry of the phononic crystal and its constitutive media for the emergence of waves, which, for the same handedness, exhibited a non-zero amplitude in one direction within the crystal’s 2D Brillouin zone and zero amplitude in the opposite direction. Due to time-reversal symmetry, the crystal supported propagation in the reverse direction for the opposite handedness. These features may enable robust directional propagation of bulk acoustic waves and topological acoustic technology.
