Abstract

In dodecagonal phoxonic quasicrytals (PhXQCs) with a very high rotational symmetry, we demonstrate numerically large phoxonic band gaps (PhXBGs, the coexistence of photonic and phononic band gaps). By computing the existence and dependence of PhXBGs on the choice of radius of holes, we find that PhXQCs can possess simultaneous photonic and phononic band gaps over a rather wide range of geometric parameters. Furthermore, localized modes of THz photons and tens of MHz phonons may exist inside and outside band gaps in defect-free PhXQCs. The electromagnetic and elastic field can be confined simultaneously around the quasicrytals center and decay in a length scale of several basic cells. As a kind of quasiperiodic structures, 12-fold PhXQCs provide a good candidate for simultaneously tailoring electromagnetic and elastic waves. Moreover, these structures exhibit some interesting characteristics due to the very high symmetry.
