A theoretical investigation is made of acoustic wave propagation in a periodically stubbed waveguide. In general the waveguide segments and stubs are made of different materials. The acoustic wave in such a system has two independent polarizations: out-of-plane and in-plane modes. The band structure and transmission spectrum is studied for diverse geometries using a simple and efficient version of the transfer-matrix method. For the same material between the waveguide and symmetric stubs the width of some gaps can change, upon varying the stub length or width, by more than one order of magnitude. A further modulation can be achieved for different material between the stubs and the main waveguide or if the stubs are asymmetric. The gaps in the band structure of an infinitely long system correspond to those in the transmission spectrum of the same system but with finite number n of units. For n finite i) there exist pseudogaps that gradually turn into complete gaps with increasing n, and ii) the introduction of defects gives rise to states in the gaps and leads to transmission resonances.

Ballistic spin transport through waveguides, with symmetric or asymmetric double stubs attached to them periodically, is studied systematically in the presence of a weak spin-orbit coupling that makes the electrons precess. By an appropriate choice o f the waveguide length and of the stub parameters injected spin-polarized electrons can be blocked completely and the transmission shows a periodic and nearly square-type behavior, with values 1 and 0, with wide gaps when only one mode is allowed to propagate in the waveguide. A similar behavior is possible for a certain range of the stub parameters even when two-modes can propagate in the waveguide and the conductance is doubled. Such a structure is a good candidate for establishing a realistic spin transistor. A further modulation of the spin current can be achieved by inserting defects in a finite-number stub superlattice. Finite-temperature effects on the spin conductance are also considered.

We present results of experimental and theoretical investigations of electron transport through stub-shaped waveguides or electron stub tuners (ESTs) in the ballistic regime. Measurements of the conductance G as a function of voltages, applied to dif ferent gates V_i (i=bottom, top, and side) of the device, show oscillations in the region of the first quantized plateau which we attribute to reflection resonances. The oscillations are rather regular and almost periodic when the height h of the EST cavity is small compared to its width. When h is increased, the oscillations become less regular and broad depressions in G appear. A theoretical analysis, which accounts for the electrostatic potential formed by the gates in the cavity region, and a numerical computation of the transmission probabilities successfully explains the experimental observations. An important finding for real devices, defined by surface Schottky gates, is that the resonance nima result from size quantization along the transport direction of the EST.
We proposed a scheme to achieve one-way acoustic propagation and even odd mode switching in two mutually perpendicular sonic crystal waveguides connected by a resonant cavity. The even mode in the entrance waveguide is able to switch to odd mode in t he exit waveguide through a symmetry match between the cavity resonant modes and the waveguide modes. Conversely, the odd mode in the exit waveguide is unable to be converted into the even mode in the entrance waveguide as incident waves and eigenmodes are mismatched in their symmetries at the waveguide exit. This one way mechanism can be applied to design an acoustic diode for acoustic integration devices and can be used as a convertor of the acoustic waveguide modes.
The extremal transmission of acoustic wave near the Dirac point in two-dimensional (2D) sonic crystal (SC), being inversely proportional to the thickness of sample, has been demonstrated experimentally for the first time. Some unusual beating effects have been observed experimentally when the acoustic pulse transport through the 2D SC slabs. Such phenomena are completely different from the oscillations of the wave in a slab or cavity originating from the interface reflection or Fabry-Perot effect. They can be regarded as acoustic analogue to Zitterbewegung of relativistic electron. The physical origination for the phenomenon has been analyzed.
The complex band structures calculated using the Extended Plane Wave Expansion (EPWE) reveal the presence of evanescent modes in periodic systems, never predicted by the classical omega(vec{k}) methods, providing novel interpretations of several phen omena as well as a complete picture of the system. In this work we theoretically and experimentally observe that in the ranges of frequencies where a deaf band is traditionally predicted, an evanescent mode with the excitable symmetry appears changing drastically the interpretation of the transmission properties. On the other hand, the simplicity of the sonic crystals in which only the longitudinal polarization can be excited, is used to interpret, without loss of generality, the level repulsion between symmetric and antisymmetric bands in sonic crystals as the presence of an evanescent mode connecting both repelled bands. These evanescent modes, obtained using EPWE, explain both the attenuation produced in this range of frequencies and the transfer of symmetry from one band to the other in good agreement with both experimental results and multiple scattering predictions. Thus, the evanescent properties of the periodic system have been revealed necessary for the design of new acoustic and electromagnetic applications based on periodicity.
