We consider the 1D motion of an overdamped Brownian particle in a general potential in the low temperature limit. We derive an explicit expression for the probability distribution for the heat transferred to the particle. We find that the…
A thermal diode transports heat mainly in one preferential direction rather than in the opposite direction. This behavior is generally due to the non-linear dependence of certain physical properties with respect to the temperature. Here we…
Non-Fourier heat conduction models assume wave-like behavior does exist in the heat conduction process. Based on this wave-like behavior, thermal conduction controlled in a one-dimensional periodical structure, named thermal wave crystal,…

We show that the radiative heat transfer between two solid surfaces at short separation may increase by many order of magnitude when the surfaces are covered by adsorbates. In this case the heat transfer is determined by resonant photon…

It is possible to fabricate mesoscopic structures where at least one of the dimensions is of the order of de Broglie wavelength for cold electrons. By using semiconductors, composed of more than one material combined with a metal slip-gate,…
This paper was written in honor of my friend Ted Geballe's 100th birthday. It concerns the physics of the superconducting Tc. Tc is a dimensional quantity, and so depends on microscopic details of a material making it a strange quantity to…
Recently a new theory for the transport of energetic particles across a mean magnetic field was presented. Compared to other non-linear theories the new approach has the advantage that it provides a full time-dependent description of the…
As power electronics shrinks down to sub-micron scale, the thermal transport from a solid surface to environment becomes significant. Under circumstances when the device works in rare gas environment, the scale for thermal transport is…
Thermal transport is a fundamental mechanism of energy transfer process quite distinct from wave propagation phenomena. It can be manipulated well beyond the possibilities offered by natural materials with a new generation of artificial…
There is still no general consensus on how one can describe the out-of-equilibrium phenomena in matter induced by an ultrashort light pulse. We investigate the pulse-induced dynamics in a layered Dirac semimetal SrMnBi2 by pump-and-probe…
Charge transfer is a fundamental process that underlies a multitude of phenomena in chemistry and biology. Recent advances in observing and manipulating charge and heat transport at the nanoscale, and recently developed techniques for…

This study delves into Microtearing Modes (MTMs) in tokamak plasmas, employing advanced simulations within the BOUT++ framework. The research, centering on collisional MTMs influenced by the time-dependent thermal force, enhances our…
Gas flow and heat transfer in confined geometries at micro and nano scales differ considerably from those at macro-scales, mainly due to nonequilibrium effects such as velocity slip and temperature jump. The nonequilibrium effects enhance…

The realization of single-molecule thermal conductance measurements has driven the need for theoretical tools to describe conduction processes that occur over atomistic length scales. In macroscale systems, the principle that is typically…
Compressibility effects in a turbulent transport of temperature field are investigated applying the quasi-linear approach for small P\'eclet numbers and the spectral $\tau$ approach for large P\'eclet numbers. Compressibility of a fluid…
Second sound is known as the thermal transport regime where heat is carried by temperature waves. Its experimental observation was previously restricted to a small number of materials, usually in rather narrow temperature windows. We show…
