This broad review summarizes recent advances and “hot” research topics in nanophononics
and elastic, acoustic, and mechanical metamaterials based on results presented by the …

Phonons play a key role in the physical properties of materials, and have long been a topic
of study in physics. While the effects of phonons had historically been considered to be a …

Nanophononics has the potential for information transfer, in an analogous manner to its
photonic and electronic counterparts. The adoption of phononic systems has been limited …

Nanomechanics, nanoacoustics, and nanophononics refer to the engineering of acoustic
phonons and elastic waves at the nanoscale and their interactions with other excitations …

We report on a new approach of a low phase noise electro-optomechanical oscillator
directly working in the GHz frequency range. The developed nanoscale oscillator is a one …

Chaos enables the emergence of randomness in deterministic physical systems. Therefore it
can be exploited for the conception of true random number generators mandatory in …

Mechanical systems prepared in quantum non-Gaussian states constitute a new advanced
class of phenomena breaking the laws of classical physics. Specifically, such mechanical …

We propose a novel acousto-optic (AO) devise using suspended fishbone nanobeams
based on phononic and photonic potential well (PnPW and PtPW). We aim to reduce the …

With the rising demand for the transmission of large amounts of information over long
distances, the development of integrated light circuits is the key to improving this technology …

Phononic crystals and phononic metamaterials are popular structures for manipulating
acoustic waves with artificially arranged units that have different elastic constants. These …
