This book presents a comprehensive description of phonons and their
interactions in systems with different dimensions and length
scales. Internationally-recognized leaders describe theories and
measurements of phonon interactions in relation to the design of
materials with exotic properties such as metamaterials,
nano-mechanical systems, next-generation electronic, photonic, and
acoustic devices, energy harvesting, optical information storage,
and applications of phonon lasers in a variety of fields. The
emergence of techniques for control of semiconductor properties and
geometry has enabled engineers to design structures in which
functionality is derived from controlling electron behavior. As
manufacturing techniques have greatly expanded the list of
available materials and the range of attainable length scales,
similar opportunities now exist for designing devices whose
functionality is derived from controlling phonon behavior. However,
progress in this area is hampered by gaps in our knowledge of
phonon transport across and along arbitrary interfaces, the
scattering of phonons with crystal defects, interface roughness and
mass-mixing, delocalized electrons/collective electronic
excitations, and solid acoustic vibrations when these occur in
structures with small physical dimensions. This book provides a
comprehensive description of phonons and their interactions in
systems with different dimensions and length scales. Theories and
measurements of phonon interactions are described in relation to
the design of materials with exotic properties such as
metamaterials, nano-mechanical systems, next-generation electronic,
photonic, and acoustic devices, energy harvesting, optical
information storage, and applications of phonon lasers in a variety
of fields.
