The anomalous manipulation of acoustic waves based on planar metasurface with split hollow sphere

This paper presents an acoustic metasurface (AMS) model consisting of split hollow sphere (SHS) resonator arrays with the property of negative modulus. It shows that the AMS can imprint phase discontinuities on an acoustic reflected wave as it traverses the interface between two media. By designing suitable phase gradients, the AMS enables the perpendicularly incident acoustic wave to be converted to a surface wave or reflected in any angle. Four kinds of AMSs, which can anomalously manipulate the reflected wave's direction, are simulated to fulfill the generalized Snell's law. The results provide an available and simple path to experimentally achieving the AMS.
