Abstract
Coherent control of wavelike phenomena via metamaterials is driving, ever since four decades, a technological revolution in fields ranging from electronics, photonics, to phononics. Although temperature has been historically considered as the paradigmatic example of an incoherent field, undergoing diffusive as opposed to wavelike propagation, on short space and timescales Fourier law fails and the possibility for temperature wavelike propagation sets in [1]. The ultimate goal is to devise metamaterials, addressed as temperonic metamaterials, enabling coherent control of temperature oscillations arising in the hydrodynamic heat transport regime and operating at above liquid nitrogen temperature.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
