A wide range of engineered and natural composites exhibit a layered architecture whereby individual building blocks are assembled layer by layer using cohesive interfaces. We present a novel mechanism for evolving acoustic band gap structure in a model system of these composites through patterning the microstructure in a way that triggers nonplanar interfacial deformations between the layers as they are stretched. Through the controlled deformation and growth of interlayer channels under macroscopic tension, we observe the emergence of multiple wide band gaps due to Bragg diffraction and local resonance. We describe these phenomena in details for three example microstructures and discuss the implications of our approach for harnessing controlled deformation in modulating band gap properties of composite materials.

This paper discuses about application of Electro Magnetic Band-gap structure(EBG) application in design of microstrip band bass filter(BPF) in ultra wide band(UWB) frequency. Here to obtain improved pass-band region and good out of band region a single Electro Magnetic Band-gap structure (EBG) cell is used. The simulation of the filter is done using advanced design system software (ADS), the obtained result is satisfactory .in addition to the performance of the filter the size of overall filter is reduced in size which can be used in many compact handheld devices.

Materials constructed from different van der Waals two-dimensional (2D) heterostructures offer a wide range of benefits, but these systems have been little studied because of their experimental and computational complextiy, and because of the very large number of possible combinations of 2D building blocks. The simulation of the interface between two different 2D materials is computationally challenging due to the lattice mismatch problem, which sometimes necessitates the creation of very large simulation cells for performing density-functional theory (DFT) calculations. Here we use a combination of DFT, linear regression and machine learning techniques in order to rapidly determine the interlayer distance between two different 2D heterostructures that are stacked in a bilayer heterostructure, as well as the band gap of the bilayer. Our work provides an excellent proof of concept by quickly and accurately predicting a structural property (the interlayer distance) and an electronic property (the band gap) for a large number of hybrid 2D materials. This work paves the way for rapid computational screening of the vast parameter space of van der Waals heterostructures to identify new hybrid materials with useful and interesting properties.
