In solid state physics, a bandgap (BG) refers to a range of energies where no electronic
states can exist. This concept was extended to classical waves, spawning the entire fields of …

The study of phononic materials and structures is an emerging discipline that lies at the
crossroads of vibration and acoustics engineering and condensed matter physics. Broadly …

The phonon is the physical particle representing mechanical vibration and is responsible for
the transmission of everyday sound and heat. Understanding and controlling the phononic …

Phononic crystals are composite materials made of periodic distributions of inclusions
embedded in a matrix. Due to their periodic structure, these materials may exhibit under …

In this paper, we describe a general optomechanical system for converting photons to
phonons in an efficient and reversible manner. We analyze classically and quantum …

In this paper, we show that it is possible to design two-dimensional (2D) porous phononic
crystals (PnCs) with a simultaneously maximal bandgap width (BGW) and the minimal mass …

In this research, the photonic and phononic response of one-dimensional multilayer
phoxonic crystals (PxCs) with normal incident of electromagnetic and acoustic waves is …

Noise and environmental problems are significant issues that affect human beings through
the triggering of various stressors, including biological, chemical, physical, and …

Hybrid photonic-plasmonic cavities have emerged as a new platform to increase light–
matter interaction capable to enhance the Purcell factor in a singular way not attainable with …

The interaction of light and sound waves at the micro and nanoscale has attracted
considerable interest in recent years. The main reason is that this interaction is responsible …
