N2 - 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.
