Kiełczyński P. New Shear Horizontal (SH) Surface-Plasmon-Polariton-like Elastic Surface Waves for Sensing Applications. SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 23:9879. [PMID: 38139725 PMCID: PMC10747286 DOI: 10.3390/s23249879] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 12/15/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023]
Abstract
The advent of elastic metamaterials at the beginning of the 21st century opened new venues and possibilities for the existence of new types of elastic (ultrasonic) surface waves, which were deemed previously impossible. In fact, it is not difficult to prove that shear horizontal (SH) elastic surface waves cannot exist on the elastic half-space or at the interface between two conventional elastic half-spaces. However, in this paper we will show that SH elastic surface waves can propagate at the interface between two elastic half-spaces, providing that one of them is a metamaterial with a negative elastic compliance s44(ω). If in addition, s44(ω) changes with frequency ω as the dielectric function ε(ω) in Drude's model of metals, then the proposed SH elastic surface waves can be considered as an elastic analogue of surface plasmon polariton (SPP) electromagnetic waves, propagating at a metal-dielectric interface. Due to inherent similarities between the proposed SH elastic surface waves and SPP electromagnetic waves, the new results developed in this paper can be readily transferred into the SPP domain and vice versa. The proposed new SH elastic surface waves are characterized by a strong subwavelength confinement of energy in the vicinity of the guiding interface; therefore, they can potentially be used in subwavelength ultrasonic imaging, superlensing, and/or acoustic (ultrasonic) sensors with extremely high mass sensitivity.

Abstract
Topological elastic wave metamaterials have shown significant advantages in manipulating wave propagation and realizing localized modes. However, topological properties of most mechanical metamaterials are difficult to change because of structural limitations. This work proposes the elastic wave metamaterials with double coupled chains and active control, in which band inversion and topological interface modes can be achieved by flexibly tuning negative capacitance circuits. Finite element simulations and experiments are performed to demonstrate the topological interface modes, which show good agreements with the theoretical results. This research seeks to provide effective strategies for the design and application of topological elastic wave metamaterials.

Abstract
The topological properties of an object, associated with an integer called the topological invariant, are global features that cannot change continuously but only through abrupt variations, hence granting them intrinsic robustness. Engineered metamaterials (MMs) can be tailored to support highly nontrivial topological properties of their band structure, relative to their electronic, electromagnetic, acoustic and mechanical response, representing one of the major breakthroughs in physics over the past decade. Here, we review the foundations and the latest advances of topological photonic and phononic MMs, whose nontrivial wave interactions have become of great interest to a broad range of science disciplines, such as classical and quantum chemistry. We first introduce the basic concepts, including the notion of topological charge and geometric phase. We then discuss the topology of natural electronic materials, before reviewing their photonic/phononic topological MM analogues, including 2D topological MMs with and without time-reversal symmetry, Floquet topological insulators, 3D, higher-order, non-Hermitian and nonlinear topological MMs. We also discuss the topological aspects of scattering anomalies, chemical reactions and polaritons. This work aims at connecting the recent advances of topological concepts throughout a broad range of scientific areas and it highlights opportunities offered by topological MMs for the chemistry community and beyond.

Abstract
The twist angle between a pair of stacked 2D materials has been recently shown to control remarkable phenomena, including the emergence of flat-band superconductivity in twisted graphene bilayers, of higher-order topological phases in twisted moiré superlattices, and of topological polaritons in twisted hyperbolic metasurfaces. These discoveries, at the foundations of the emergent field of twistronics, have so far been mostly limited to explorations in atomically thin condensed matter and photonic systems, with limitations on the degree of control over geometry and twist angle, and inherent challenges in the fabrication of carefully engineered stacked multilayers. Here, this work extends twistronics to widely reconfigurable macroscopic elastic metasurfaces consisting of LEGO pillar resonators. This work demonstrates highly tailored anisotropy over a single-layer metasurface driven by variations in the twist angle between a pair of interleaved spatially modulated pillar lattices. The resulting quasi-periodic moiré patterns support topological transitions in the isofrequency contours, leading to strong tunability of highly directional waves. The findings illustrate how the rich phenomena enabled by twistronics and moiré physics can be translated over a single-layer metasurface platform, introducing a practical route toward the observation of extreme phenomena in a variety of wave systems, potentially applicable to both quantum and classical settings without multilayered fabrication requirements.

Abstract
Cloaking invisibility is a novel technique that prevents the object from being detected in the background field. The development of new artificial materials and structures promotes the emergence of new achievements in cloaking research. In this work, a broadband square cloaking configuration of elastic wave metamaterial plate is designed and fabricated by the external active control system. The approximate parameters of the flexural wave cloak can be obtained by the coordinate transformation and achieved by alternating layers of the Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and piezoelectric (PZT) patches. With the introduction of active control systems, the square cloak has a wide effective frequency range. The simulation and experimental results show that the square cloak of flexural waves exhibits a good invisible performance in the frequency region of 500-2200 Hz. Compared to the structure without active control systems, the frequency region 2200-2750 Hz is extended for the active cloak. The design and fabrication of the broadband cloak is wished to be helpful during the practical engineering.

Negative index metamaterial through multi-wave interactions: numerical proof of the concept of low-frequency Lamb-wave multiplexing. Sci Rep 2021; 11:561.

Abstract
We study numerically the potential of a multimodal elastic metamaterial to filter and guide Lamb waves in a plate. Using a sub-wavelength array of elongated beams attached to the plate, and combining the coupling effects of the longitudinal and flexural motion of these resonators, we create narrow transmission bands at the flexural resonances of the beams inside the wide frequency bandgap induced by their longitudinal resonance. The diameter of the beams becomes the tuning parameter for selection of the flexural leakage frequency, without affecting the main bandgap. Finally, by combination of the monopolar and dipolar scattering effects associated with the coupled beam and plate system, we create a frequency-based multiplexer waveguide in a locally resonant metamaterial.

Abstract
Metamaterials are composed of arrays of subwavelength-sized artificial structures; these architectures give rise to novel characteristics that can be exploited to manipulate electromagnetic waves and acoustic waves. They have been also used to manipulate elastic waves, but such waves have a coupling property, so metamaterials for elastic waves uses a different method than for electromagnetic and acoustic waves. Since researches on this type of metamaterials is sparse, this paper reviews studies that used elastic materials to manipulate elastic waves, and introduces applications using extraordinary characteristics induced by metamaterials. Bragg scattering and local resonances have been exploited to introduce a locally resonant elastic metamaterial, a gradient-index lens, a hyperlens, and elastic cloaking. The principles and applications of metasurfaces that can overcome the disadvantages of bulky elastic metamaterials are discussed.

Broadband Anisotropy in Terahertz Metamaterial With Single-Layer Gap Ring Array. MATERIALS 2019; 12:ma12142255.

Abstract
To convert the polarization of terahertz waves pumped by a femtosecond laser in a terahertz time domain system, a broadband anisotropic metamaterial is proposed. The metamaterial is constructed with a single-layer gapped metallic ring array, which supports different resonant modes in orthogonal directions. With the aid of simulations and measurements, the anisotropy of the terahertz transmission is demonstrated and discussed. The experimental results of THz transmission in the metamaterial indicate that the anisotropic band is as wide as 0.56 THz, which accords well with our theoretical prediction.

Abstract
Non-Hermitian parity-time (PT) symmetric systems that possess real eigenvalues have been intensively investigated in quantum mechanics and rapidly extended to optics and acoustics demonstrating a lot of unconventional wave phenomena. Here, a PT symmetric metamaterial beam is designed based on shunted piezoelectric patches and asymmetric wave scattering in the form of flexural waves is demonstrated through analytical and numerical approaches. The gain and loss components in the PT symmetric beam are realized by the introduction of negative and positive resistances into the external shunting circuits, respectively. Effective medium theory and transfer matrix method are employed to determine the effective material parameters and scattering properties of the PT symmetric metamaterial beam. Unidirectional reflectionlessness has been demonstrated analytically and numerically, together with illustrations of the PT phase transition and exceptional points. The tunability of exceptional points is studied by changing the spacing between piezoelectric patches and shunting circuit parameters. The design explores complex material parameters of the beam structure, and could open unique ways to asymmetric wave control, enhanced sensing, amplification, and localization of flexural waves.

Abstract
Metamaterial provides a promising way to control low-frequency noise, but its narrow bandgap limits its applications. To end this, a membrane-type smart metamaterial with multi-modal sound insulation property is studied. The proposed metamaterial consists of an aluminum membrane bonded with multi-modal resonant piezoelectric resonators. Both simulated and experimental results show that the proposed metamaterial can broaden the locally resonant bandgaps because of the effect of the multi-modal resonance (the percent bandwidths are 0.19 and 0.22 for the lowest mode and higher two modes, respectively). Large multi-modal sound insulations (over 37 dB) are obtained around the designed resonant frequencies in low frequency regime (<2000 Hz) with an ultra-thin thickness (over 1000 times thinner than the acoustic wavelength). It is also demonstrated that the excellent sound insulation property can be tuned by simply adjusting the external circuits instead of modifying the structure itself. The underlying mechanism of the unusual sound insulation of the proposed metamaterial is attributed to the negative effective bending stiffness Deq derived by the effective medium method. In addition, the parametric study shows that the circuital parameters (capacitances) are inversely related to the sound transmission loss of the proposed multi-resonant metamaterial, which benefits the optimization of insulation effect.

Abstract
Hyperbolic metamaterials, the highly anisotropic subwavelength media, immensely widen the engineering feasibilities for wave manipulation. However, limited by the empirical structural topologies, the reported hyperbolic elastic metamaterials (HEMMs) suffer from the limitations of the relatively narrow frequency width, inflexible adjustable operating subwavelength scale and difficulty to further improve the imaging resolution. Here, we show an inverse-design strategy for HEMMs by topology optimization. We design broadband single-phase HEMMs supporting multipolar resonances at different prescribed deep-subwavelength scales, and demonstrate the super-resolution imaging for longitudinal waves. Benefiting from the extreme enhancement of the evanescent waves, an optimized HEMM at an ultra-low frequency can yield an imaging resolution of ~λ/64, representing the record in the field of elastic metamaterials. The present research provides a novel and general design methodology for exploring the HEMMs with unrevealed mechanisms and guides the ultrasonography and general biomedical applications.

Abstract
A novel design of an elastic metamaterial with anisotropic mass density is proposed to manipulate flexural waves at a subwavelength scale. The three-dimensional metamaterial is inspired by kirigami, which can be easily manufactured by cutting and folding a thin metallic plate. By attaching the resonant kirigami structures periodically on the top of a host plate, a metamaterial plate can be constructed without any perforation that degrades the strength of the pristine plate. An analytical model is developed to understand the working mechanism of the proposed elastic metamaterial and the dispersion curves are calculated by using an extended plane wave expansion method. As a result, we verify an anisotropic effective mass density stemming from the coupling between the local resonance of the kirigami cells and the global flexural wave propagations in the host plate. Finally, numerical simulations on the directional flexural wave propagation in a two-dimensional array of kirigami metamaterial as well as super-resolution imaging through an elastic hyperlens are conducted to demonstrate the subwavelength-scale flexural wave control abilities. The proposed kirigami-based metamaterial has the advantages of no-perforation design and subwavelength flexural wave manipulation capability, which can be highly useful for engineering applications including non-destructive evaluations and structural health monitoring.

Abstract
We have proposed solid elastic metamaterials with anisotropic stiffness and inertial mass simultaneously, denoted as the dual anisotropy, for the potential use of elastic wave controlling. The dual anisotropy has been designed weakly dispersive in a broad frequency range, wherein broadband anisotropic mass is achieved by employing the sliding-interface concept in fluid-solid composites. Results have been validated through the band-structure, effective-medium, and modal-field analyses. We have further found that the proposed solid metamaterial, when its shear stiffness is diminished until neglected, would reduce to the pentamode-inertial material model. This reduced model is the general form of mediums following transformation acoustic theory, which has been proved vital for acoustic wave controlling. Our studies are expected to pave a new route toward broadband acoustic and elastic wave controlling using dual-anisotropic solid metamaterials.

Loss-induced Enhanced Transmission in Anisotropic Density-near-zero Acoustic Metamaterials. Sci Rep 2016; 6:37918.

Abstract
Anisotropic density-near-zero (ADNZ) acoustic metamaterials are investigated theoretically and numerically in this paper and are shown to exhibit extraordinary transmission enhancement when material loss is induced. The enhanced transmission is due to the enhanced propagating and evanescent wave modes inside the ADNZ medium thanks to the interplay of near-zero density, material loss, and high wave impedance matching in the propagation direction. The equi-frequency contour (EFC) is used to reveal whether the propagating wave mode is allowed in ADNZ metamaterials. Numerical simulations based on plate-type acoustic metamaterials with different material losses were performed to demonstrate collimation and subwavelength imaging enabled by the induced loss in ADNZ media. This work provides a different way for manipulating acoustic waves.
