Topological phonon transport in an optomechanical system

Hengjiang Ren, Tirth Shah, Hannes Pfeifer +4

Recent advances in cavity-optomechanics have now made it possible to use light not just as a passive measuring device of mechanical motion, but also to manipulate the motion of mec…

Phononic bandgap nano-acoustic cavity with ultralong phonon lifetime

Gregory S. MacCabe, Hengjiang Ren, Jie Luo +5

We present measurements at millikelvin temperatures of the microwave-frequency acoustic properties of a crystalline silicon nanobeam cavity incorporating a phononic bandgap clampin…

Snowflake Topological Insulator for Sound Waves

Christian Brendel, Vittorio Peano, Oskar Painter +1

We show how the snowflake phononic crystal structure, which has been realized experimentally recently, can be turned into a topological insulator for sound waves. This idea, based…

Pseudomagnetic fields for sound at the nanoscale

Christian Brendel, Vittorio Peano, Oskar Painter +1

There is a growing effort in creating chiral transport of sound waves. However, most approaches so far are confined to the macroscopic scale. Here, we propose a new approach suitab…

Diamond optomechanical crystals

Michael J. Burek, Justin D. Cohen, Seán M. Meenehan +11

Cavity-optomechanical systems realized in single-crystal diamond are poised to benefit from its extraordinary material properties, including low mechanical dissipation and a wide o…
