Abstract

AbstractMechanical bound states in the continuum (BICs) present an alternative avenue for developing high-frequency, high-Q mechanical resonators, distinct from the conventional band structure engineering method. While symmetry-protected mechanical BICs have been realized in phononic crystals, the observation of accidental mechanical BICs—whose existence is independent of mode symmetry and tunable by structural parameters—has remained elusive. This challenge is primarily attributed to the additional radiation channel introduced by the longitudinal component of elastic waves. Here, we employ a coupled wave theory to predict and experimentally demonstrate mechanical accidental BICs within a high-aspect-ratio gallium arsenide phononic crystal grating. We observe the merging process of accidental BICs with symmetry-protected BICs, resulting in reduced acoustic radiation losses compared to isolated BICs. This finding opens up new possibilities for phonon trapping using BIC-based systems, with potential applications in sensing, transduction, and quantum measurements.
