Abstract

Accidental degeneracy is the only known reason behind the degeneration of 3 or more modes, giving a Dirac cone or Dirac-like cone, depending on the position of the occurrence. The generation of triply degenerate points at the center of the Brillouin zone (where the wave number k→ = 0) is rare and only happens accidentally. In this article, it is proposed to execute triple degeneracy using the simplest geometric microarchitecture of phononic crystals (PnCs). The modulation of the crystals can be performed to demonstrate multiple Dirac-like cones at Î" point by using the nondispersive deaf band obtained from the periodic structure. Thus, a deaf band based predictive model of PnCs can be realized, by proving the existence of the deaf band both numerically and experimentally. The claims have been proved and validated using a squared array of cylindrical polyvinylchloride (PVC) inclusions in an air matrix. This phenomenon yields multiple wave guiding patterns that can be practically used in many research fields.
