Two-dimensional (2D) materials like graphene and h-BN usually show high thermal conductivity, which enables rich applications in thermal dissipation and nanodevices. Disorder, on the other hand, is often present in 2D materials. Structural…
Thermal energy transport is of great importance in lignocellulose pyrolysis for bio-fuels. The thermophysical properties of lignocellulose significantly affect the overall properties of bio-composites and the related thermal transport. In…
The ability to control heat transport with electrical signals has been an outstanding challenge due to the lack of efficient electrothermal materials. Previous attempts have mainly concentrated on phase-change and layered materials and…
The anisotropy in resonant tunneling transport through an electrostatic barrier in mono layer black phosphorus either in presence or in absence of an oscillating potential is studied. Non-perturbative Floquet theory is applied to solve the…
The angular dependence of the thermal transport in insulating or conducting ferromagnets is derived on the basis of the Onsager reciprocity relations applied to a magnetic system. It is shown that the angular dependence of the temperature…

Phonon engineering focuses on heat transport modulation on atomic-scale. Different from reported methods, it is shown that electric field can also modulate heat transport in ferroelectric polymers, poly(vinylidene fluoride), by both…
The temperature-driven reorientation transition which, up to now, has been studied by use of Heisenberg-type models only, is investigated within an itinerant-electron model. We consider the Hubbard model for a thin fcc(100) film together…
