The role of metallic nanostructures in nanophotonics is expected to expand if ways to electrically manipulate their optical resonances at high speed can be identified. Here, we capitalize on electrically-driven surface acoustic waves and…
We investigate the propagation of a piezoelectric surface acoustic wave (SAW) across a GaAs/Al$_X$Ga$_{1-X}$As heterostructure surface, on which there is fixed a metallic split-gate. Our method is based on a finite element formulation of…
With the application of surface acoustic wave (SAW) of 39.5 MHz to a model polymer liquid film,polyisobutylene, deposited on the solid substrates, the liquid film is densified, proved by the decrease of film thickness and the increase of…
Charge carrier transport is pivotal in advancing nanoelectronics. Despite progress in exciton transport within ultra-thin semiconductors, the intertwined transport of free carriers and excitons presents challenges. Surface Acoustic Waves…
Surface Acoustic Waves (SAW) have been used in spintronic applications to decrease the magnetic field or the electric current required to act on the magnetization. A common belief is that a SAW alone cannot achieve a directed magnetic…
Migrating active deicing capabilities to transparent materials with low thermal conductivity has a high potential to improve the operations of several seminal industries in the automotive, robotic, energy, and aerospace sectors. However,…
We propose a method to control surface phonon transport by weak magnetic fields based on the pumping of surface acoustic waves (SAWs) by magnetostriction. We predict that the magnetization dynamics of a nanowire on top of a dielectric films…
We present a finite-element method modeling of acoustophoretic devices consisting of a single, long, straight, water-filled microchannel surrounded by an elastic wall of either borosilicate glass (pyrex) or the elastomer…
Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) coupled to magnons have attracted much attention because they allow for the long-range transport of magnetic information which cannot be achieved by magnon alone. We employed pulsed laser interferometry to…
Thermal motions of molecules can generate nanowaves on the free surface of a liquid film. As nanofilms are susceptible to the contamination of surfactants, this work investigates the effects of surfactants on dynamics of nanowaves on a…
We predict high-velocity magnetic domain wall (DW) motion driven by out-of-plane acoustic spin in surface acoustic waves (SAWs). We demonstrate that the SAW propagating at a 30-degree angle relative to the x-axis of a 128-degree Y-LiNbO3…
We explore routing of propagating phonons in analogy with previous experiments on photons. Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) in the microwave regime are scattered by a superconducting transmon qubit. The transmon can be tuned on or off…
We investigate the acousto-electric transport induced by surface acoustic waves (SAWs) in epitaxial graphene (EG) coated by a MgO/ZnO film. The deposition of a thin MgO layer protects the EG during the sputtering of a piezoelectric ZnO film…
Recently, the concept of valley pseudospin, labeling quantum states of energy extrema in momentum space, has attracted enormous attention because of its potential as a new type of information carrier. Here, we present surface acoustic wave…
Numerical simulations of the Navier-Stokes, Nernst-Planck, and the Poisson equations are employed to describe the transport processes in an aqueous electrolyte in a parallel-plate nanochannel, where surface-acoustic waves (SAWs) are…
Surface acoustic waves (SAWs), with their five orders-of-magnitude slower propagation velocity, allow for considerably shorter wavelengths at the same frequency compared to electromagnetic waves. The short wavelengths allow for device…
An experiment is proposed to stimulate a superconducting thin film with terahertz (THz) acoustic waves, which is a regime not previously tested. For a thin film on a piezoelectric substrate, this can be achieved by coupling the substrate to…
Understanding the properties of two-dimensional materials interfaces with the substrate is necessary for device applications. Surface acoustic wave propagation through the layered material flake on a substrate could provide unique…
We numerically study the acoustic parametric amplification of spin waves using surface acoustic waves (SAW) in a magnetic thin film. First, we illustrate how the process of parametric spin-wave generation using short-waved SAWs with a fixed…
Porous media underpin absorption, filtration, separation, and high-area interfacial transport in chemical and diagnostic systems, yet sustained directional flow through them remains difficult because tortuous pore networks and strong…
