Phonons, the quantum mechanical vibrations of atoms in solids, are often sources of noise in solid-state quantum systems, ...

Crucially, the scientists devised a novel method to map the direction of phonon travel. They found that sharper atomic interfaces between the quantum dots and surrounding silicon more effectively ...

and silicon Raman lasers have great potential in optoelectronics 12. Figure 1: Raman shift and diamond Raman laser design. In many materials operating at elevated temperatures, the one-phonon ...
