Future of Quantum Devices: Tuning Phonons with Twist Angles

A breakthrough method of controlling properties of phonons– energy wave travelling through crystal lattice on vibration of atoms of the material, through twist angles between layers of two-dimensional materials, can help engineer materials with tailored thermal, optical, and electronic characteristics, vital for quantum technology. A phonon is a collective excitation in a periodic, elastic arrangement … Continue reading Future of Quantum Devices: Tuning Phonons with Twist Angles
