Zusammenfassung: | This study investigates the temperature-tuned omnidirectional reflection (ODR) bands in a one-dimensional (1D) finite phononic crystal (PnC), formed by alternating layers of nitinol and epoxy. An analytical model, based on the transfer matrix method, is developed to study reflection and transmission characteristics of the acoustic waves including shear and compressional waves in a 1D PnC. Existence criteria and the sensitive and continuous temperature-tunability of ODR bands in the nitinol/epoxy PnC are demonstrated using the analyses of projected-band structures and reflection spectra. The width and location of the ODR bands shift markedly with temperature variations of nitinol across the phase transition from martensite to austenite. The effects of temperature, filling fraction of nitinol layers, and the Si clad layer on ODR bands are considered. The results will be of benefit in the design and optimization of thermal tuning of omnidirectional acoustic mirrors. |
