Roton-like acoustical dispersion relations in 3D metamaterials

Here, the authors introduce beyond-nearest-neighbour interactions as a mechanism for molding the flow of waves in acoustic metamaterials. They find that for strong third-nearest-neighbour interactions, this mechanism allows for engineering roton-like acoustical dispersion relations under ambient con...
