Broadband anomalous reflection caused by unsymmetrical specific acoustic impedance in phononic crystals

    We investigate through numerical simulation the anomalous reflection (AR) of acoustic waves with perfect phononic crystals (PCs). Broadband AR is observed in a wide angle for the oblique incidence. The AR is due to the unsymmetrical specific acoustic impedance (SAI) profile along the surface, which is caused by the high frequency incidence. The findings in this paper complement the theories for the AR of acoustic waves with PCs, and may find applications in acoustic engineerings.
