Abstract
Investigations of the surface acoustic wave (SAW) properties of phononic crystals in which the periodic modulation occurs on the traction-free surface did not take place until the late 1990s. Theoretical investigations initially focused on isotropic materials before being extended to the case of general anisotropy or to piezoelectric phononic crystals (PC) a few years later. Initially, experimental studies of SAW in 2D PCs were conducted on periodic structures at the millimeter scale exhibiting band gaps frequency in the range of a couple of MHz or lower. Surface modes as well as localization phenomena in linear and point defects were also demonstrated. In contrast, studies in the micrometer scale which may find applications in radio frequency (RF) communications or in MEMS devices have not started before the middle of the last decade. We propose in this chapter to report on some results obtained on the investigation of 2D SAW phononic band gap structures. The theoretical formulations of the plane-wave expansion (PWE) and of the finite difference time domain (FDTD) methods for SAWs are briefly summarized, and calculated results of SAW propagation and related phenomena such as band gaps and waveguiding are presented. Experiments conducted in PC at the micron scale allowing to demonstrate phononic band gaps and potential applications to SAW resonator devices are eventually reported.
