Abstract
We show that there are two types of acoustic monopoles, namely the pressure monopoles (PMs) and the velocity monopoles (VMs). Under one wave incidence, only the pressure field near a PM at resonance possesses monopolar symmetry, while for a VM at resonance only the velocity field possesses monopolar symmetry. It is the dipolar response function of the monopoles that dictates whether they are PMs or VMs. A hybrid monopolar device with neither velocity nor pressure field symmetry is also demonstrated by combining a VM and a PM, which exhibits two monopole resonances with neither PM nor VM symmetry. The breaking of symmetry could lead to higher absorption of the subwavelength scale devices.
