Area of Science:

Condensed Matter Physics
Materials Science
Acoustics

Background:

Wave and particle transport manipulation is crucial for information processing.
Graphene exhibits unique electron transport properties due to relativistic massless Dirac quasiparticles.
Artificial materials can be engineered to mimic exotic quantum phenomena.

Purpose of the Study:

To experimentally demonstrate an artificial phononic graphene platform for surface phonons.
To investigate Dirac quasiparticle-like transport in this artificial system.
To explore potential applications in quantum simulation and integrated electronics.

Main Methods:

Fabrication of an artificial phononic graphene on a lithium niobate (LiNbO3) integrated platform.
Experimental investigation of surface phonon transport characteristics.
Analysis of transmitted pulse behavior, particularly temporal beating.

Main Results:

Demonstration of Dirac quasiparticle-like transport, specifically pseudo-diffusion at the Dirac point.
Observation of a thickness-independent temporal beating for transmitted pulses, analogous to Zitterbewegung.
Successful tailoring of surface phonon dispersion on the integrated platform.

Conclusions:

The artificial phononic graphene platform enables the study of Dirac quasiparticle physics with phonons.
This system offers a novel approach for creating on-chip quantum simulators of graphene.
The platform is a significant step towards developing monolithic electro-acoustic integrated circuits.
