Deskripsi

Long-range interactions have often been considered as a nuisance or correction to the desired features of metamaterials. Here, nonlocal interactions in 2D acoustic metamaterials are instead exploited as a tool to engineer peculiar wave dispersions, such as multiple roton-like minima, leading to negative and triple refraction.
