• openAccess   Bound states in the continuum in circular clusters of scatterers 

      Martí-Sabaté, Marc; Djafari Rouhani, Bahram; Torrent, Daniel American Physical Society (2023-02-21)
      In this work, we study the localization of flexural waves in highly symmetric clusters of scatterers. It is shown that when the scatterers are placed regularly in the perimeter of a circumference the quality factor of the ...
    • openAccess   Dipolar localization of waves in twisted phononic crystal plates 

      Martí-Sabaté, Marc; Torrent, Daniel American Physical Society (2021-01-11)
      The localization of waves in two-dimensional clusters of scatterers arranged in relatively twisted lattices is studied by multiple scattering theory. It is found that, for a given frequency, it is always possible to nd ...
    • openAccess   Edge modes for flexural waves in quasi-periodic linear arrays of scatterers 

      Martí-Sabaté, Marc; Torrent, Daniel American Institute of Physics (2021-08-13)
      We present a multiple scattering analysis of robust interface states for flexural waves in thin elastic plates. We show that finite clusters of linear arrays of scatterers built on a quasi-periodic arrangement support ...
    • openAccess   High-quality resonances in quasi-periodic clusters of scatterers for flexural waves 

      Martí-Sabaté, Marc; Guenneau, Sébastien; Torrent, Daniel American Institute of Physics (2022-07-04)
      Multiple scattering theory is applied to the study of clusters of point-like scatterers attached to a thin elastic plate and arranged in quasi-periodic distributions. Two types of structures are specifically considered: ...
    • openAccess   Observation of two-dimensional acoustic bound states in the continuum 

      Martí-Sabaté, Marc; Li, Junfei; Djafari Rouhani, Bahram; Cummer, Steven; Torrent, Daniel Springer Nature (2024-04-09)
      The design of devices based on acoustic or optical fields requires the fabrication of cavities and structures capable of efficiently trapping these waves. A special type of cavity can be designed to support resonances with ...
