Coupled acoustic resonator systems with novel acoustic properties by Yang, Yahui

“…Then, the lattice was extended to three-dimensional and a third-order topological insulator on an anisotropic diamond lattice was implemented, leading to topological corner states at two corners of a rhombohedron-like sample. The work in this thesis has theoretically studied and experimentally investigated topological related novel properties in acoustic resonator systems, ranging from the strain field induced magnetic-like effects, to the bulk polarization. …”
