“…Over the past few years, significant research efforts have been devoted to the study of these surface waves, due to their potential applications to improve the thermal performance and stability of nanoscale devices in electronics [95][96][97][98][99][100]. Taking into account that the surface effects predominate over the volumetric ones due to the high surface area/volume ratio in nanomaterials, the energy transport by SPhP is expected to be particularly important in nano-sized amorphous media, the bulk thermal conductivity of which is usually low and decreases as the size reaches the nanoscale [101][102][103]. Despite their importance, the contribution of the SPhP to the thermal conductivity of these materials is not well understood to date, especially at nanoscale.…”

Abstract. Understanding and controlling vibrations in condensed matter is emerging as an essential necessity both at fundamental level and for the development of a broad variety of technological applications. Intelligent design of the band structure and transport properties of phonons at the nanoscale and of their interactions with electrons and photons impact the efficiency of nanoelectronic systems and thermoelectric materials, permit the exploration of quantum phenomena with micro-and nanoscale resonators, and provide new tools for spectroscopy and imaging. In this colloquium we assess the state of the art of nanophononics, describing the recent achievements and the open challenges in nanoscale heat transport, coherent phonon generation and exploitation, and in nano-and optomechanics. We also underline the links among the diverse communities involved in the study of nanoscale phonons, pointing out the common goals and opportunities.

“…The maximum values for the energy flow occur near the interfaces and in the intermediate region (a < r < b) the intensity is bigger than in the other regions. The internal energy flow can be positive or negative, in contrast of that it occurs in the field absence [4], where the energy flow is always negative inside the cylinder. The signal of the energy flow determines the propagation direction, what it is confirmed by the determination of the speed of transport of the energy, by the analysis of the dispersion relation [2].…”

“…2, we extend the previous works [3][4][5] to describe the propagation of the electromagnetic wave in the metallic double-walled carbon nanotubes by using the linearized quantum hydrodynamic model and classical electrodynamic formulations. We derived general expressions of dispersion relations of the electromagnetic waves with TM and TE modes, respectively.…”
