Abstract:

 Recently, there has been a growing interest in the use of microwave phonons for applications to classical and quantum information technologies [1]. In spite of the promise, the ability to manipulate such ultrahigh frequency phonon waves has yet to be fully developed because of their nano/microscale tiny structures. Phononic crystals (PnCs) provide a suitable platform for addressing the difficulty and enable the microwave phonons to be spatially guided and trapped in wavelength-scale regions by engineering its artificial elastic structures [2]. The resonantly enhanced ultrahigh frequency vibrations in a PnC cavity are locally measured with an optical interferometer, showing quality-factor reaching Q = 4,000 at room temperature. The high-quality vibrations can be dynamically modulated through interaction with ferromagnetic magnons [3,4]. Our achievements on the PnC magnomechanics pave the new way for establishing alternative control technologies for microwave phonons in on-chip phononic circuits. In addition to the above, at this seminar, I will present a brief review of phononics/mechanics researches and also share our latest results on topological phononics [5].
