We study the impact of BN's phonons on the electrical resistivity of hBN-encapsulated graphene. While encapsulation yields high-mobility devices, the surrounding BN itself introduces remote scattering from polar optical phonons, whose role…

Because of high surface-to-volume ratio, the most prominent size effect limiting thermal transport originates from phonon-surface scattering in nanostructures. Herein we propose the mechanism of phonon scattering by the bond strength…
