Heat guiding and focusing using ballistic phonon transport in phononic nanostructures
Unlike classical heat diffusion at macroscale, nanoscale heat conduction can occur without energy dissipation because phonons can ballistically travel in straight lines for hundreds of nanometres. Nevertheless, despite recent experimental evidence of such ballistic phonon transport, control over its directionality, and thus its practical use, remains a challenge, as the directions of individual...
متن کاملDiscourse Connectives give Rise to Lexical Predictions
A large number of experiments reveals that language comprehension is generally incremental and even predictive (e.g., Tanenhaus & Trueswell, 1995). However, there is also evidence that incoming information across the sentence level does not always immediately update local predictions and affect global interpretation (Sanford & Garrod, 1998). The question therefore is which information from the ...
متن کاملSynchro-Betatron Stop-Bands due to a Single Crab Cavity
We analyze the stop-band due to crab cavities for horizontal tunes that are either close to integers or close to half integers. The latter case is relevant for today’s electron/positron colliders. We compare this stop-band to that created by dispersion in an accelerating cavity and show that a single typical crab cavity creates larger stop-bands than a typical dispersion at an accelerating cavi...
متن کاملSubdiffraction light focusing on a grating substrate.
We describe a way to generate subdiffraction light spots that can be moved over a surface without resorting to near-field manipulation, nonlinear effects, or negative index materials. We use a periodically patterned substrate that converted efficiently, through scattering, the impinging propagative waves into evanescent ones. Then we optimize the wave front of the incident propagative beam so t...
متن کاملWatching surface waves in phononic crystals.
In this paper, we review results obtained by ultrafast imaging of gigahertz surface acoustic waves in surface phononic crystals with one- and two-dimensional periodicities. By use of quasi-point-source optical excitation, we show how, from a series of images that form a movie of the travelling waves, the dispersion relation of the acoustic modes, their corresponding mode patterns and the positi...
