Non-Reciprocal Materials and Systems: An Engineering Approach to the Control of Light, Sound, and Heat discusses the related concept of bound states which help confine sound and electromagnetic waves and can also lead to the control of thermal energy. The requirements for the formation of such bound states, their relationship to physical and topological characteristics of materials, and the possible application to new devices is considered. The book takes a unique approach to energy transfer in and between materials systems - considering dimensional effects, supersonic, transonic and subsonic wave motion, as well as the coupling of waves.

This book is suitable for researchers in materials science, condensed matter physics, electrical, mechanical, and structural engineering, and technologists aiming for better control of non-electronic physical phenomena.

Dr. Prabhakar Bandaru is presently a Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department (MAE), at U.C. San Diego. He is an Affiliate Professor of the Center for Memory and Recording Research (CMRR) department. Professor Bandaru is also affiliated to the Electrical Engineering (ECE) and the Nanoengineering (Nano) departments at UCSD. His research group is mainly interested in topics related to electrochemical energy storage, control of thermal energy, and fluid flow at the nanoscale. The basis of the underlying investigations is materials physics and chemistry, invoking the electrical, optical, and thermal properties of materials at the mesoscopic and microscopic levels.
