Transmission control of acoustic metasurface with dumbbell-shaped double-split hollow sphere

Complex structures, large size and limited manipulation of acoustic waves are the problems that restrict the development of acoustic metasurfaces. Here, we report a transmission-type acoustic metasurface based on local resonance mechanism, which is composed of meta-atomic units called dumbbell-shaped double-split hollow spheres (DSDSHS). This metasurface with subwavelength scale has the advantage of simple structure and easy preparation, and can realize the full manipulation of sound waves. Negative refraction with different transmission angles and high intensity plate focusing lens are realized in the air environment of audible frequency. The proposed metasurface has potential applications in the miniaturization and integration of sound transmission and sound energy collection, opening a new opportunity for manipulation of acoustic wavefront.
