Dear colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to Symposium N of the E-MRS 2018 Spring Meeting: "Nanostructures for phononic applications", taking place in Strasbourg, France from June 18th to 22nd, 2018.

This symposium aims at addressing fundamental issues related to phonon transport and the design of nanostructures for phonon manipulation.

Topics to be covered by the symposium:

    -Theoretical methods for phonon dispersion and phonon transport
    -Experimental methods for probing phonons and phonon transport
    -Coherent phonons and coherent phonon transport
    -Thermal circuit elements and computation with phonons
    -Thermoelectrics
    -Phononic and phoXonic crystals

Invited speakers:

    -Baowen Li, University of Colorado, Boulder (USA) and National University of Singapore
    -Gang Chen, MIT (USA)
    -Georg K. H. Madsen, TU Wien (Austria)
    -Tobias Kippenberg, EPFL (Switzerland)
    -Pierre-Olivier Chapuis, INSA Lyon (France)
    -Eva Weig, Universität Konstanz (Germany)
    -Daniel Lanzillotti-Kimura, CNRS and Université Paris-Sud (France)

You are all very welcome to submit an abstract to this Symposium before the deadline on January 18, 2018. Some selected contributed talks will be upgraded to invited talks. Proceedings will be published by Semiconductor Science and Technology (IOP). More information can be found at the web page of the symposium:
