Abstract
Phononic materials exhibit mechanical properties that alter the propagation of acoustic waves and are widely useful for metamaterials. To fabricate acoustic materials with phononic bandgaps, colloidal nanoparticles and their assemblies allow access to various crystallinities in the submicrometer scale. We fabricated anisotropic crystals with dumbbell-shaped nanoparticles via field-directed self-assembly. Brillouin light spectroscopy detected the formation of direction-dependent hypersonic phononic bandgaps that scale with the lattice parameters. In addition, the local resonances of the constituent nanoparticles enable metamaterial behavior by opening hybridization gaps in disordered structures. Unexpectedly, this bandgap frequency is robust to changes in the dumbbell aspect ratio. Overall, this study provides a structure-property relationship for designing anisotropic phononic materials with targeted phononic bandgaps.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2022; 34:e2201348.

Abstract
Bragg mirrors are widely applied in optical and photonic devices due to their capability of light management. However, the fabrication of Bragg mirrors is mainly accomplished by physical and chemical vapor deposition processes, which are costly and do not allow for lateral patterning. Here, the fabrication of Bragg mirrors by fully inkjet printing is reported. The photonic bandgap of Bragg mirrors is tailored by adjusting the number of bilayers in the stack and the layer thickness via simply varying printing parameters. An ultrahigh reflectance of 99% is achieved with the devices consisting of ten bilayers only, and the central wavelength of Bragg mirrors is tuned from visible into near-infrared wavelength range. Inkjet printing allows for fabricating Bragg mirrors on various substrates (e.g., glass and foils), in different sizes and variable lateral patterns. The printed Bragg mirrors not only exhibit a high reflection at designed wavelengths but also show an outstanding homogeneity in color over a large area. The approach thus enables additive manufacturing for various applications ranging from microscale photonic elements to enhanced functionality and aesthetics in large-area displays and solar technologies.

Abstract
The possibility to measure the glass transition temperature in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) films by picosecond ultrasonics with thicknesses ranging from 458 nm to 32 nm is demonstrated. A shift of the longitudinal acoustic eigenmodes towards lower frequencies with temperature is observed accompanied by a change in the temperature-frequency slopes at the glass transition temperature. The contributions to the frequency shift from changes in film thickness and sound velocity are discussed and the latter is extracted below the glass transition temperature. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of the current approach in a comparison to other methods based on acoustic measurements in the GHz regime are reviewed.

Abstract
Scintillators are central for detection of γ-ray, x-ray, and high energy particles in various applications, all seeking higher scintillation yield and rate. However, these are limited by the intrinsic isotropy of spontaneous emission of the scintillation light and its inefficient outcoupling. We propose a new design methodology for scintillators that exploits the Purcell effect to enhance their light emission. As examples, we show 1D photonic crystals from scintillator materials that achieve directional emission and fivefold enhancement in the number of detectable photons per excitation.

Abstract
Periodic materials with sub-micrometer characteristic length scale can provide means for control of propagation of hypersonic phonons. In addition to propagation stopbands for the acoustic phonons, distinct dispersive modes can reveal specific thermal and mechanical behavior under confinement. Here, we employ both experimental and theoretical methods to characterize the phonon dispersion relation (frequency versus wave vector). We employed Brillouin light scattering (BLS) spectroscopy to record the phonon dispersion in stratified multilayer polymer films. These films consist of 4-128 alternate polycarbonate (PC) and poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) layers along and normal to the periodicity direction. The distinct direction-dependent phonon propagation was theoretically accounted for, by considering the polarization, frequency and intensity of the observed modes in the BLS spectra. Layer-guiding was also supported by the glass transition temperatures of the PC and PMMA layers. The number of phonon dispersion branches increased with the number of layers but only a few branches were observable by BLS. Introduction of an additional in-plane periodicity, through a permanent wrinkling of the smooth PC/PMMA films, had only subtle consequences in the phonon propagation. Using the frequencies of the periodicity induced modes and momentum conservation equation we were able to precisely back calculate the wrinkle periodicity. However, a wrinkling-induced acoustic stopband utilizing flexible layered materials is still a challenge.

Abstract
Advances in nanoparticle synthesis, self-assembly, and surface coating or patterning have enabled a diverse array of applications ranging from photonic and phononic crystal fabrication to drug delivery vehicles. One of the key obstacles restricting its potential is structural and thermal stability. The presence of a glass transition can facilitate deformation within nanoparticles, thus resulting in a significant alteration in structure and performance. Recently, we detected a glassy-state transition within individual polystyrene nanoparticles and related its origin to the presence of a surface layer with enhanced dynamics compared to the bulk. The presence of this mobile layer could have a dramatic impact on the thermal stability of polymer nanoparticles. Here, we demonstrate how the addition of a shell layer, as thin as a single polymer chain, atop the nanoparticles could completely eliminate any evidence of enhanced mobility at the surface of polystyrene nanoparticles. The ultrathin polymer shell layers were placed atop the nanoparticles via two approaches: (i) covalent bonding or (ii) electrostatic interactions. The temperature dependence of the particle vibrational spectrum, as recorded by Brillouin light scattering, was used to probe the surface mobility of nanoparticles with and without a shell layer. Beyond suppression of the surface mobility, the presence of the ultrathin polymer shell layers impacted the nanoparticle glass transition temperature and shear modulus, albeit to a lesser extent. The implication of this work is that the core-shell architecture allows for tailoring of the nanoparticle elasticity, surface softening, and glass transition temperature.

Abstract
We report on the first systematic study of phonon propagation in nanostructured composite polymer multilayer films as a function of periodicity and composition using Brillouin light scattering and numerical simulations. The high sensitivity of phonon dispersion to structure and composition allows the probing of the mechanical properties down to the single-layer level. We observe a strikingly different dependence of the longitudinal and shear moduli on confinement effects in the polymer nanolayers. In addition, temperature dependent measurements of sound velocities reveal the presence of distinct glass transition temperatures, indicative of phonon localization in films with large layer thicknesses in agreement with theoretical predictions.
