Tunable Topological Surface States of Three-Dimensional Acoustic Crystals

Topological design for band structures of artificial materials such as acoustic crystals provides a powerful tool to manipulate wave propagating in a robust and symmetry-protected way. In this paper, based on the band folding and breaking mechanism by building blocks with acoustic atoms, we construc...

Tunable Topological Surface States of Three-Dimensional Acoustic Crystals
description Topological design for band structures of artificial materials such as acoustic crystals provides a powerful tool to manipulate wave propagating in a robust and symmetry-protected way. In this paper, based on the band folding and breaking mechanism by building blocks with acoustic atoms, we construct a three-dimensional topological acoustic crystal with a large complete bandgap. At a mirror-symmetry domain wall, two gapped symmetry and anti-symmetry surface states can be found in the bandgap, originated from two opposite Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chains. Remarkably, by enforcing a glide symmetry on the domain wall, we can tune the original gapped surface states in a gapless fashion at the boundaries of surface Brillouin zone, acting as omnidirectional acoustic quantum spin Hall effect. Our tunable yet straightforward acoustic crystals offer promising potentials in realizing future topological acoustic devices.
