Topological phonons in crystalline materials have been attracting great interest. However, most cases studied so far are direct generalizations of the topological states from electronic systems. Here, we reveal a novel class of topological…
The current understanding of chirality suggests the existence of a connection between structure and angular momentum, including spin. This is particularly emphasised in the chiral induced spin selectivity effect, where chiral structures act…
Chiral phonons are desirable for applications in spintronics but their generation and control remains a challenge.Here we demonstrate the emergence of truly chiral phonons from selective magnon-phonon coupling in inversion-symmetric…
Hexagonal two-dimensional materials with broken inversion symmetry (as BN or transition metal dichalcodenides) are known to sustain chiral phonons with finite angular momentum, adding a further useful degree of freedom to the extraordinary…
We theoretically studied the phonon properties of the triangular-, stripe- and honeycomb-type electronic crystals recently found in two-dimensional semiconductor moir\'e patterns. By analyzing the phonon dispersions, we found the…
We explicitly derive the wavefunctions of chiral phonons propagating along the helical axis in chiral crystals and clarify the characteristics of electron-phonon interactions in chiral helical crystals. In particular, we elucidate how the…
$A$B$_{2}$ ($A=$K, Rb, Cs) compounds crystallize in the cubic Laves phase (symmetry Fd$\bar{3}$m). The geometry of the crystal structure allows the realization of chiral phonons, which are associated with the circulation of atoms around…
Chiral lattice modes are hybrid states arising from chiral plasmonic particles assembled in ordered arrays with opportune periodicity. These resonances exhibit dependence on excitation handedness, and their observation in plasmonic lattices…
Chirality characterizes the asymmetry between a structure and its mirror image and underlies a wide range of chiral functionalities. In crystallographically chiral materials, phonons with non-zero linear momentum $\textbf{k}$ can acquire a…
We propose a macroscopic theory of optical phonons, Fr{\"o}hlich polarons, and exciton-polarons in two-dimensional (2D) polar crystalline monolayers. Our theory extends the classical macroscopic formulation of the electron-phonon problem in…
Phonons are quanta of lattice vibrations, and their modes (linear, circular, or stationary) are symmetry-determined. Circularly polarized phonons, possessing nonzero angular momentum (AM), have drawn widespread attention recently. Despite…
At the 2D limit, hexagonal systems such as monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and graphene exhibit unique coupled spin and momentum-valley physics (valley pseudospin) owing to broken spatial inversion symmetry and strong…
Chirality is an indispensable concept that pervades fundamental science and nature, manifesting itself in diverse forms such as chiral quasiparticles and chiral structures. Of particular interest are Weyl phonons carrying specific Chern…
A generation, propagation, and transfer of phonon angular momenta are examined on thermal transport in chiral insulative and diamagnetic crystals of $\alpha$-quartz. We found that thermally-driven phonons carry chirality-dependent angular…
We have developed a microscopic theory on phonon energy dispersion in chiral crystals within a harmonic approximation. One of the main issues is about the splitting of sound velocity of acoustic phonons with opposite ``crystal'' angular…
Recent years have witnessed growing interest in chiral phonons, lattice vibrations carrying angular momentum and exhibiting handedness, as revealed by helicity-dependent optical phenomena. Despite this progress, a quantitative…
Fine control of the chiral light-matter interaction at the nanoscale, by exploiting designed metamaterial architecture, represents a cutting-edge craft in the field of biosensing, quantum and classic nanophotonics. Recently, artificially…
Lattice vibrations can carry angular momentum and magnetic moments under broken inversion or time-reversal symmetry, forming so-called chiral phonons. While such excitations have been explored in nonmagnetic systems via optical probes,…
In this Letter, we predict a structural phase transition unique to chiral crystals with screw symmetry. In chiral crystals, the phonon frequency renormalized by the electron-phonon coupling depends on the handedness of circular…
We propose a mechanism to obtain chiral phonon-like excitations from the bond-dependent magnetoelastic couplings in the absence of out-of-plane magnetization and magnetic fields. By mapping the hybrid excitation to its phononic analog, we…
