We study the behavior of steady state voltage potentials in two kinds of bidimensional media composed of material of complex permittivity equal to 1 (respectively $\alpha$) surrounded by a thin membrane of thickness $h$ and of complex…
We study the intrinsic scattering of phonons by a general quantum degree of freedom, i.e. a fluctuating "field" $Q$, which may have completely general correlations, restricted only by unitarity and translational invariance. From the induced…
We study the flat phase of nematic elastomer membranes with rotational symmetry spontaneously broken by in-plane nematic order. Such state is characterized by a vanishing elastic modulus for simple shear and soft transverse phonons. At…
Probing phonons, quasi-particle excitations and their coupling has enriched our understanding of these 2D materials and proved to be crucial for developing their potential applications. Here, we report comprehensive temperature, 4-330 K,…
We have measured the heat conduction between 0.05 K and 1.0 K of high purity silicon wafers carrying on their polished faces a variety of thin dielectric films and polycrystalline thin metallic films. Using a Monte Carlo simulation to…
To explore the thermal and thermoelectric potential of 2D materials, we study the h-NbN monolayer, which lacks mirror symmetry and features a large acoustic-optical phonon gap and quadratic flexural mode. First-principles calculations and…
Hotspot is a ubiquitous phenomenon in microdevices/chips. In homogeneous nanoscale graphene disk with a hotspot, a graded thermal conductivity is observed previously even when the system size is fixed. However, the underlying physical…
It is known that one-dimensional anomalous heat propagation is usually characterized by a L\'{e}vy walk superdiffusive spreading function with two side peaks located on the fronts due to the finite velocity of acoustic phonons, and in the…
We present analytical model and molecular dynamics simulations of phonon heat transport in nanowires and nanoribbons with anharmonic lattices and dynamically rough surfaces and edges. In agreement with recent experiments on heat transport…
Classical thermal transport theories that preserve rotational symmetry, predict strong anharmonic scattering of out-of-plane lattice vibrational modes called flexural phonons in flat suspended graphene sheets. Such strong scattering…
Rotation and reflection symmetries impose that out-of-plane (flexural) phonons of free-standing graphene membranes have a quadratic dispersion at long wavelength and can be excited by charge carriers in pairs only. As a result, we find that…
We present three Monte Carlo models for the propagation of athermal phonons in the diamond absorber of a composite semiconducting bolometer `Bolo 184'. Previous measurements of the response of this bolometer to impacts by $\alpha$ particles…
Understanding microscopic heat conduction in thin films is important for nano/micro heat transfer and thermal management for advanced electronics. As the thickness of thin films is comparable to or shorter than a phonon wavelength, phonon…
We calculate the thermal conductivity of free-standing silicene using the phonon Boltzmann transport equation within the relaxation time approximation. In this calculation, we investigate the effects of sample size and different scattering…
We present a theoretical study of electron-phonon scattering effects in thin films made of a strong topological insulator. Phonons are modelled by isotropic elastic continuum theory with stress-free boundary conditions, and the interaction…
The Casimir and Casimir-Polder interactions are investigated in a stack of equally spaced graphene layers. The optical response of the individual graphene is taken into account using gauge invariant components of the polarization tensor…
We consider a 3D homogeneous superfluid at low temperature $T$ with 2 types of excitations, gapless phonons with a linear dispersion relation at low wavenumber, and gapped quasiparticles with a quadratic dispersion relation around extrema.…
Cold neutron scattering experiments have been performed to explore the energy, temperature, and wave-vector dependence of the diffuse scattering and the transverse acoustic (TA) phonons in the relaxor PbMg(1/3)Nb(2/3)O3. We have observed a…
We consider the thermal Casimir effect in systems of parallel plates coupled to a mass-less free field theory via quadratic interaction terms which suppress (i) the field on the plates (ii) the gradient of the field in the plane of the…
We present a method of deriving two boundary conditions at a thin membrane for diffusion from experimental data. This method can be really useful in complex membrane systems in which we do not know mechanisms of processes occurring within…
