Abstract
Magnons and phonons are engineered in artificial lattices with tunable modes and band dispersions. Recent advance in magnon-phonon coupling shined a light on combining magnonic and phononic crystals as hybrid magnon-phonon crystals, benefit from the tunable magnon-phonon coupling, the time-reversal symmetry breaking of magnons, and the long lifetime of phonons. This perspective summarizes lattice-based mutual control of magnons and phonons, and proposes the opportunities provided by the hybrid magnon-phonon crystals.
