    Abstract

    Sonic crystals consisting of three-dimensional arrays of units which exhibit localized resonances have been discovered recently. Here, it is shown that their two-dimensional counterparts behave in a similar manner. Particularly, it is observed that the transmittance spectra show very asymmetric peaks which are explained as a Fano-like interference phenomenon. A finite difference time domain method is employed to perform a comprehensive study of the resonance line shape as a function of the mass density of the structural units. Also, a simple analytical model is introduced to give an intuitive account of the origin of the interference phenomenon.
