Just as a ray of light is made up of many particles called photons, sound consists of particle-like chunks called phonons.

Raman spectroscopy experiments show that the interaction between electrons and phonons in graphene resembles the Dirac fermion–photon coupling in quantum electrodynamics. In the early days of ...

Scientists are racing to develop new materials for quantum technologies in computing and sensing for ultraprecise ...

"This technique allows us to study surface phonons -- the collective vibrations of atoms at a material's surface or interface between materials," said Zhaodong Chu, a postdoctoral researcher at ...

The work is published in the journal Science Advances. "This technique allows us to study surface phonons—the collective vibrations of atoms at a material's surface or interface between ...

In this work we study phonon-assisted luminescence by means of a newly derived approach that include the coupling between excitons and phonons. We found that luminescence inh-BN is dominated by phonon ...

Heat carried by lattice vibrations, known as phonons in quantized form, is particularly detrimental to thermoelectric performance. The crucial insight is that the phonons that are responsible for ...
