Exploration of Angle-Dependent Klein Tunneling in Snowflake-Shaped AlN Thin Film Phononic Crystals

ORAL

Abstract

This study focuses on design fabrication of snowflake-shaped Aluminum Nitride (AlN) thin film phononic crystals. In the suspended configuration, these structures exhibit the Klein Tunneling effect, allowing reflection-free wave transmission. Notably, the interdigital transducer's angle modulates the angle-dependency of this effect. Employing the impedance-matching microscope (TMIM) for detailed analysis, we deciphered the phononic behavior influenced by the Klein Tunneling phenomenon. Our findings spotlight the potential of snowflake-shaped AlN phononic crystals in advanced wave manipulation applications.
