PROGRAM / SYMPOSIUM A-2

Symposium A-2
Vibronics

Scope

While phononics has been established as a field studying phonon transport in crystalline materials, the increasing complexity and hybridization of modern materials and devices demand comprehensive thermal management strategies. This necessitates establishing a broader academic framework that encompasses energy transport not only through phonons but across diverse solid materials and interfaces.
Against this background, we aim to establish 'Vibronics' as a comprehensive academic field dealing with vibrational propagation and energy transport in complex and diverse systems including disordered materials, polymers, and interfaces. This symposium will bring together researchers from various scientific and engineering disciplines, including physics, chemistry, materials science, and device engineering, to share knowledge and engage in discussions.
Through this symposium, we seek to establish this new academic field while exploring various potential applications.

Topics

• phonon transport
• vibrations in solid
• thermal transport
• phonoic crystal
• phononic metamaterials
• topological phononics
• nano/micro mechanics
