Phonons thus can't carry heat across a porous material as efficiently, giving the material a low thermal conductivity, which turns out to increase the efficiency of heat - to - electricity conversion.

If even a small amount of energy from phonons (the sound units that carry the energy through the germanium or silicon, much as photons are the units of light) hit the detector, it can be enough to make the device lose superconductivity and register a potential dark matter event through a device called a superconducting quantum interference device, or SQUID.

Heat travels through a material via phonons, quantized units of vibration that act as heat - carrying particles.

Henry's successes in capturing the atomic vibrations of glass was due to the development of a new way of studying the dynamics of phonons, which he'd created with with Wei Lv, a doctoral student in his lab, Known as Green - Kubo Modal Analysis (GKMA), the new method uses molecular dynamics simulations to more accurately calculate the contributions different modes of vibration make to the heat conduction.

The energy in the phonons is measured as heat in the superconducting detectors, and the charge signal is measured by the charge detectors.

When a particle (such as a WIMP) collides with the detector, it creates crystal lattice vibrations (phonons) and releases electrons.

Professor Park Je - Geun, Associate Director of the Center for Correlated Electron Systems (CCES), within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), and colleagues have observed, quantified and created a new theoretical model of the coupling of two forms of collective atomic excitation, known as magnons and phonons in crystals of the antiferromagnet manganite (Y, Lu) MnO3, a mineral made of manganese oxide and rare - earth elements called yttrium (Y) and lutetium (Lu).

«The idea of a magnon - phonon coupling has already been around as a possible explanation for the uniquely low coefficient of thermal expansion of the invar materials.

«The result is a two - dimensional solid where the atoms are held together and talk to each other not by phonons — as in regular matter — but by photons.

For example, if an engineer desires a material with certain thermal properties, the mean free path distribution could serve as a blueprint to design specific «scattering centers» within the material — locations that prompt phonon collisions, in turn scattering heat propagation, leading to reduced heat carrying ability.

The strong spin - phonon coupling may be caused by the outermost orbitals of osmium atoms as they are greatly extended outward in space, in the solid oxide.

However, the new research shows that phonons can reach across a gap as small as a nanometer, «tunneling» from one material to another to enhance heat transport.

Recent studies indicate that the stronger the spin - phonon interaction is, the more favorable it is in the development of new materials — such as a multiferroic material, for example — in which the coupling of magnetism and the lattice system has great importance.

The study also reveals a dramatic reduction of the number of phonons carrying heat, as a result of structural complexity, allowing a simple and general...
