摘要
We present a systematic study of the frequency band structure of acoustic waves in crystals consisting of nonoverlapping solid spheres. in a fluid. We consider colloidal crystals consisting of polystyrene spheres in water, and an opal consisting of close-packed silica spheres in air. The opal exhibits an omnidirectional frequency gap of considerable width; the colloidal crystals do not. The physical origin of the bands are discussed for each case in some detail. We also present results on the transmittance of finite slabs of the above crystals.
