Overview
About the project
Intriguing quantum phenomena such as the existence of 'dirac cones' in dispersion relations are at the heart of the characteristics that give materials such as graphene, Weyl semi-metals, etc. their unique properties. Such phenomena need to be studied in detail to design and develop materials that yield quantum properties.
For example, there has been much interest recently in studying 'twistronics' that emerges from juxtaposing multiple layers of 2D materials, such as graphene. However, studying such phenomena in the original materials can be challenging given the scale at which they exist and the stringent requirements on temperature, etc. Fascinating recent investigations show that we can achieve acoustic analogues of exotic quantum phenomena using metamaterials that are easy to fabricate and test under normal roomtemperature conditions. Dirac Cones, the Quantum Hall Effect, etc. have been studied in their acoustic analogues.
The Metamaterial-based Acoustic Analogues of Quantum Phenomena project is offered at Deakin University.
Programme Structure
- The goal is to study and list the quantum phenomena of interest and then design acoustic metamaterials that can best mimic such effects before fabricating them.
- Attention will be given to concepts that are amenable to 3D and 4D printing techniques

Student insurance
Make sure to cover your health, travel, and stay while studying abroad. Even global coverages can miss important items, so make sure your student insurance ticks all the following:
- Additional medical costs (i.e. dental)
- Repatriation, if something happens to you or your family
- Liability
- Home contents and baggage
- Accidents
- Legal aid
We partnered with Aon to provide you with the best affordable student insurance, for a carefree experience away from home.
