Abstract :
The phononic crystals properties are compared with those of semiconductors and photonic crystals. A photonic band gap appears when all channels of phonons propagation are suppressed. In order to achieve this requirement, the material parameters must fulfill certain conditions. In a nanostructured material, besides the acoustic phonons, localized optic-like, "mixed " and "Bragg" induced modes propagate.
