Band Structure Engineering of Coupled-Resonator Phononic Polyacetylene and Polyaminoborane
A methodology for constructing a quasi-one-dimensional coupled-resonator phononic metamaterial is presented. This is achieved through the design of artificial phononic analogs of two molecular structures: trans-polyacetylene and trans-polyaminoborane. The band structure of trans-polyacetylene is analyzed in relation to the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model, while that of trans-polyaminoborane is examined using the $κ$-deformed Dirac equation, both within a tight-binding framework. Additionally, the obtained finite realization of the artificial trans-polyacetylene exhibits topologically protected states.
