Experimental characterisation of the bound acoustic surface modes supported by honeycomb and hexagonal hole arrays
2019
The Dirac point and associated linear dispersion exhibited in the band structure of bound (non-radiative) acoustic surface modes supported on a honeycomb array of holes is explored. An aluminium plate with a honeycomb lattice of periodic sub-wavelength perforations is characterised by local pressure field measurements above the sample surface to obtain the full band-structure of bound modes. The local pressure fields of the bound modes at the K and M symmetry points are imaged, and the losses at frequencies near the Dirac frequency are shown to increase monotonically as the mode travels through the K point at the Dirac frequency on the honeycomb lattice. Results are contrasted with those from a simple hexagonal array of similar holes, and both experimentally obtained dispersion relations are shown to agree well with the predictions of a numerical model.
