Description
The understanding of the propagation of elastic waves, or phonons, in nanoscale systems is essential to providing a full description of heat transfer at these length scales. A key element of this description is the dispersion relation that captures the physics of all the vibrational modes of the solid. We study this fundamentally through a combination that involves analytical calculations of the dispersion in two dimensional systems known as phononic bandgap materials. These calculations will be used to guide fabrication and thermal transport measurements in silicon based phononic membranes, of importance not only to the fundamental physics of heat transfer but also in applications such thermal measurement devices that operate in nanoscale systems.
