Localization and amplification of Rayleigh waves by topological elastic metasurfaces by Zhou, Weijian, Fan, Zheng

“…We present two methods to design the topological metasurface, and several kinds of metasurfaces will be studied. We will show the existence of topologically protected interface modes in these topological metasurfaces that can realize energy localization around interfaces in the topological metasurface, and the displacement at the interface can be amplified more than two times than the input Rayleigh waves. …”
