Abstract

Energy can be harvested from the heat energy produced by phonon–phonon interaction. Acoustical metamaterial in the form of phononic crystal will be used in the structure of the system for energy harvesting. Here, one needs to design the phononic crystal structure. To enable this, one needs to design the phononic crystal system’s dispersion relation and phonon–phonon interaction in the structure. A classical treatment using continuum medium is used. The thermoelectric efficiency is defined and its relation to the phononic crystal structure is described.
