Internship in wave physics, master 2 level
Context
Topological phononics is blooming nowadays. The topic combines the concepts of artificial crystals for acoustic waves with group theory and topology. Of special interest is the creation of phononic crystal waveguides with desirable properties such as single-mode operation, symmetry-protection, and immunity against backscattering by defects. The internship work would include steps of theory (wave physics, topology of band structures), numerical simulation (finite elements for acoustic and elastic waves), and the achievement of demonstration experiments with underwater acoustic waves.
Workplan
The internship will be devoted to implementing phononic crystal waveguides including an internal glide symmetry. Experiments will be performed using ultrasonic waves in water. Waveguide samples will be built by the intern from perforated alignment plates, obtained by laser drilling of Plexiglas. Various samples will be conceived and tested under the supervision of a third-year PhD student and his advisors. The ultimate goal is to produce publishable quality results and ideally to draft a scientific publication by the end of the internship.
Internship duration : 5 to 6 months from February 2022
The gratification is at the legal rate (~550 €/month), for a period of 6 months maximum. The candidate can send a CV, a cover letter motivating the application, and the transcript of grades for the last two years by email. The search for a candidate will continue until a suitable application is accepted.
