Electrode structure für generating nanoscale sound waves

Caption

Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are used across almost all disciplines in nanoscience. These nanoscale sound waves can be generated by an electrode structure on a chip (left). They are employed, for example, to control or read out single photons, qubits, artificial atoms, magnetic systems, novel 2D materials, or even living cells in biomedical applications (from left to right).
