Recent years witnessed much broader use of Brillouin inelastic light scattering spectroscopy for the investigation of phonons and magnons in novel materials, nanostructures, and devices. Driven by developments in instrumentation and the strong need for accurate knowledge of energies of elemental excitations, the Brillouin - Mandelstam spectroscopy is rapidly becoming an essential technique, complementary to the Raman inelastic light scattering spectroscopy. We provide an overview of recent progress in the Brillouin light scattering technique, focusing on the use of this photonic method for the investigation of confined acoustic phonons, phononic metamaterials, magnon propagation and scattering. The Review emphasizes emerging applications of the Brillouin - Mandelstam spectroscopy for phonon engineered structures and spintronic devices and concludes with a perspective for future directions.

A ferromagnetic sphere can support textit{optical vortices} in forms of whispering gallery modes and textit{magnetic quasi-vortices} in forms of magnetostatic modes with non-trivial spin textures. These vortices can be characterized by their orbital
angular momenta. We experimentally investigate Brillouin scattering of photons in the whispering gallery modes by magnons in the magnetostatic modes, zeroing in on the exchange of the orbital angular momenta between the optical vortices and the magnetic quasi-vortices. We find that the conservation of the orbital angular momentum results in different nonreciprocal behaviors in the Brillouin light scattering. New avenues for chiral optics and opto-spintronics can be opened up by taking the orbital angular momenta as a new degree of freedom for cavity optomagnonics.
Magnetostatic modes supported by a ferromagnetic sphere have been known as the Walker modes, each of which possesses an orbital angular momentum as well as a spin angular momentum along a static magnetic field. The Walker modes with non-zero orbital
angular momenta exhibit topologically non-trivial spin textures, which we call textit{magnetic quasi-vortices}. Photons in optical whispering gallery modes supported by a dielectric sphere possess orbital and spin angular momenta forming textit{optical vortices}. Within a ferromagnetic, as well as dielectric, sphere, two forms of vortices interact in the process of Brillouin light scattering. We argue that in the scattering there is a selection rule that dictates the exchange of orbital angular momenta between the vortices. The selection rule is shown to be responsible for the experimentally observed nonreciprocal Brillouin light scattering.
Micro-focus Brillouin light scattering is a powerful technique for the spectroscopic and spatial characterization of elementary excitations in materials. However, the small momentum of light limits the accessible excitations to the center of the Bril
louin zone. Here, we utilize a metallic nanoantenna fabricated on the archetypal ferrimagnet yttrium iron garnet to demonstrate the possibility of Brillouin light scattering from large-wavevector, high-frequency spin wave excitations that are inaccessible with free-space light. The antenna facilitates sub-diffraction confinement of electromagnetic field, which enhances the local field intensity and generates momentum components significantly larger than those of free-space light. Our approach provides access to high frequency spin waves important for fast nanomagnetic devices, and can be generalized to other types of excitations and light scattering techniques.
This paper reviews recent progress in the synthesis of near-infrared (NIR) lead chalcogenide (PbX; PbX=PbS, PbSe, PbTe) quantum dots (QDs) and their applications in NIR QDs based light emitting diodes (NIR-QLEDs). It summarizes the strategies of how
to synthesize high efficiency PbX QDs and how to realize high performance PbX based NIR-QLEDs.
Magnetically ordered, electrically insulating materials pave the way towards novel spintronic devices. In these materials the flow of magnetic excitations such as magnons results in pure spin currents. These spin currents can be driven by gradients o
f the spin chemical potential and/or temperature such that they can play the same role in novel spintronic devices as charge currents in traditional electronic circuits. Connecting spin current based and charge current based devices requires spin to charge interconversion. This has been achieved by the spin Hall effect with an efficiency of several 10%. The recent progress in materials development and understanding of pure spin current physics opens up a plethora of novel device concepts and opportunities for fundamental studies.
