Scientists at the University of California, Irvine have uncovered the atomic-scale mechanics that enhance superconductivity ...

This June, members of the lab attended Phononics 2019: the 5th International Conference on Phononic Crystals/Metamaterials, Phonon Transport, and Topological Phononics. Several students presented ...

Phonon scattering in polar semiconductors may occur from either acoustic or optical phonons. Polar acoustic phonon, or piezoelectric, scattering can be important at very low temperatures in very pure ...

This innovative detector converts incident infrared light into ultra-confined "nanolight" in the form of phonon polaritons within the detector´s active area. This mechanism serves two crucial ...

The theoretical calculations of the phonon and magnon dispersion are in excellent agreement with the experimental data,” states the paper. Find the technical paper here. Published November 2022.
