contents In this study, we employ the atomistic wave-packet method to directly simulate coherent phonon transport and scattering dynamics in an aperiodic superlattice structure with aperiodically arranged interfaces. Our investigation reveals that interference dynamics, contingent upon the relative magnitudes of phonon wavelength, spatial coherence length, and average interface spacing, profoundly influence transmission spectra and mode-conversion behavior. Particularly, longer-wavelength phonons possessing larger coherence lengths exhibit more pronounced destructive interference and mode-conversion, leading to generally lower transmission. The insights gained into coherent phonon wave physics from this study can significantly augment the analysis and design of phononic devices.
