Current thermoelectric (TE) materials often have low performance or contain less abundant and/or toxic elements, thus limiting their large-scale applications. Therefore, new TE materials with high efficiency and low cost are strongly…
This paper reports conduction mechanism in a-\sbse over a wide range of temperature (238K to 338K) and frequency (5Hz to 100kHz). The d.c. conductivity measured as a function of temperature shows semiconducting behaviour with activation…
A fundamental understanding of phonon transport in stanene is crucial to predict the thermal performance in potential stanene-based devices. By combining first-principle calculation and phonon Boltzmann transport equation, we obtain the…
Thermoelectric materials enables the harvest of waste heat and directly conversion into electricity. In search of high efficient thermoelectric materials, low thermal conductivity of a material is essential and critical. Here, we have…
The phonon thermal transport properties of eight ternary intermetallic semiconductors are investigated by accounting for higher-order four-phonon scattering, phonon renormalization, and multi-channel thermal transport. The commonly used…
The layered semiconductor SnSe is one of the highest-performing thermoelectric materials known. We demonstrate, through a first-principles lattice-dynamics study, that the high-temperature Cmcm phase is a dynamic average over lower-symmetry…
Phosphorene, the single layer counterpart of black phosphorus, is a novel two-dimensional semiconductor with high carrier mobility and a large fundamental direct band gap, which has attracted tremendous interest recently. Its potential…
Anisotropic nanomaterials possess interesting thermal transport properties because they allow orientation of heat fluxes along preferential directions due to a high ratio (up to three orders of magnitude) between their in-plane and…
We study heat transport in hybrid normal metal - superconductor - normal metal (NSN) structures. We find the thermal conductance of a short superconducting wire to be strongly enhanced beyond the BCS value due to inverse proximity effect.…
The bulk tin selenide (SnSe) is the best thermoelectric material currently with the highest figure-of-merit due to the strong phonon-phonon interactions. We investigate the effect of electron-phonon coupling (EPC) on the transport…
In two-dimensional materials, structure difference induces the difference in phonon dispersions, leading to the anisotropy of in-plane thermal transport. Here, we report an exceptional case in layered PdSe2, where the bonding, force…

Diminution of the thermal conductivity is a crucial aspect in thermoelectric research. We report a systematic and significant reduction of the cross-plane thermal conductivity in a model system consisting of DC sputtered TiNiSn and HfNiSn…
Thermal conductivity of aligned polymer molecules can be exceptionally high along the alignment direction due to energy transport through strong covalent bonds. At the same time, it is highly sensitive to molecular conformation, varying by…
SnSe monolayers experience a temperature induced two-dimensional Pnm2$_1 \to$ P4/nmm structural transformation precipitated by the softening of vibrational modes. The standard theoretical treatment of thermoelectricity---which relies on a…
Ever since the high thermal conductivity in cubic boron arsenide (c-BAs) was predicted theoretically by Lindsay et. al in 2013, countless studies have zeroed in on this particular material. Most recently, c-BAs has been confirmed…
