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

The unique properties of light underpin the visions of photonic quantum technologies,
optical interconnects and a wide range of novel sensors, but a key limiting factor today is …

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

Emitter dephasing is one of the key issues in the performance of solid-state single-photon
sources. Among the various sources of dephasing, acoustic phonons play a central role in …

A classical thermal source, such as an incandescent filament, radiates according to Planck's
law. The feasibility of super-Planckian radiation has been investigated with sub-wavelength …

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 …

Confining photons in cavities enhances the interaction between light and matter. In cavity
optomechanics, this enables a wealth of phenomena ranging from optomechanically …

A promising route towards the deterministic creation and annihilation of single-phonons is to
couple a single-photon emitter to a mechanical resonator. The challenge lies in reaching the …

Phonon engineering at the nanoscale holds immense promise for a myriad of applications.
However, the design of phononic devices continues to rely on regular shapes chosen …

Phononic crystal, the artificial material, has shown the ability to guide the waves. In this
paper, we theoretically and experimentally realize interface transports by doping replacing …
