Thermal transport at the nanoscale level is attracting attention not only because of its
physically interesting features such as the peculiar behavior of phonons due to their …

Colloidal nanocrystals are successfully used as nanoscale building blocks for creating
hierarchical solids with structures that range from amorphous networks to sophisticated …

Nowadays, it is recognized that semiconductors are prospective candidates for promising
thermoelectric materials and the gapless topological phonon modes can result in a high …

In this paper, we present a theoretical model for the analysis of large magneto-deformation
and the anti-plane shear wave bandgaps in 2D periodic two-phase hard magnetic soft …

The energy of ground-born vibration is transported mostly by surface waves. Therefore,
engineered structures which absorb externally applied energy and improve structural …

Phononic crystals (PnCs) and acoustic metamaterials (AMMs) are artificially architected
materials endowed with the capabilities of wave manipulation. This review specifically …

This research aims to advance the existing analytical model, which was based on the Euler–
Bernoulli beam theory, for predicting the velocity amplitude of bending waves excited while …

Phononic crystals (PnCs) are capable of manipulating the flow of elastic energy through
their periodic structures and have emerged as a promising field in the last two decades …

Phononic crystals can be designed to show band gaps—ranges of frequencies whose
propagation is strongly attenuated in the material. In essence, their working principle is …

Tunable acoustic wave design is essential in phononic crystals (PnCs) because acoustic
waves constantly change in various frequency ranges during practical applications. In this …
