| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Further development of thermal conduction engineering can be expected by applying highly developed photonics to phonon engineering due to the analogy between photons and phonons. In this research, we challenged to control thermal conduction based on the wave nature of phonon by using phononic crystal structures.
We observed that the thermal conduction can be controlled by changing the short range order of phononic crystals for the first time at 4 K. This is a milestone work in solid state physics.
