Abstract
We present the first full band-structure calculations for periodic, elastic composites. For transverse polarization of the vibrations we obtain a ``phononic'' band gap which extends throughout the Brillouin zone. A complete acoustic gap or a low density of states should have important consequences for the suppression of zero-point motion and for the localization of phonons, and may lead to improvements in transducers and in the creation of a vibrationless environment.

Acoustic metamaterials: From local resonances to broad horizons.

TL;DR: This review traces the development of acoustic metamaterials from the initial findings of mass density and bulk modulus frequency dispersions in locally resonant structures to the diverse functionalities afforded by the perspective of negative constitutive parameter values, and their implications for acoustic wave behaviors.
