Nanomechanics, nanoacoustics, and nanophononics refer to the engineering of acoustic phonons elastic waves at nanoscale their interactions with other excitations such as magnons, electrons, photons. This enables manipulation control solid-state properties that depend on relative positions atoms in a lattice. The access advanced nanofabrication novel characterization techniques enabled fast deve...
