Abstract
The phonon–polariton behaviors of two-dimensional piezoelectric phononic crystals (PPCs) were studied using the plane wave expansion method. The governing equations combine Maxwell's equations and Newton's equations of motion. A mode-repulsion can be formed by strong coupling between electromagnetic (EM) waves and elastic waves in the vicinity of the center of the first Brillouin zone for PPC that comprises piezoelectric material and with opposite polarization in different periodically organized areas. Take a 2D ZnO PPC as a numerical example, it was decoupled into two independent groups. One refers to the mixed mode of the in-plane elastic waves and the transverse-magnetic (TM) mode EM waves. The other group refers to the mixed mode of the out-of-plane elastic waves and the transverse-electric (TE) mode EM waves. Coupling repulsion is also observed in these two groups.
