Topological materials for full-vector elastic waves.

ABSTRACT: Elastic wave manipulation is important in a wide variety of applications, including information processing in small elastic devices and noise control in large solid structures. The recent emergence of topological materials has opened new avenues for modulating elastic waves in solids. However, because of the full-vector feature and the complicated couplings of the longitudinal and transverse components of elastic waves, manipulating elastic waves is generally difficult compared with manipulating acoustic waves (scalar waves) and electromagnetic waves (vectorial waves but transverse only). To date, topological materials, including insulators and semimetals, have been used for acoustic and electromagnetic waves. Although topological materials with elastic waves have also been reported, the o
