Owing to their long phonon mean free paths (MFPs) and high thermal conductivity, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are ideal candidates for, e.g., removing heat from electronic devices. It is unknown, however, how the intrinsic phonon MFPs depend on…
We examine the temperature dependence of thermal conductivity of one dimensional nonlinear (anharmonic) lattices with and without on-site potential. It is found from computer simulation that the heat conductivity depends on temperature via…
Heat transport in low-dimensional systems has attracted enormous attention from both theoretical and experimental aspects due to its significance to the perception of fundamental energy transport theory and its potential applications in the…
A previously proposed variational approach for momentum-conserving systems [J. Liu et.al., Phys. Rev. E 91, 042910 (2015)] is extended to systematically investigate general momentum-nonconserving nonlinear lattices. Two intrinsic identities…
We compare two effective phonon theories, which have both been applied recently to study heat conduction in anharmonic lattices. In particular, we study the temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity of the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam model…
Guided by a stylized experiment we develop a self-consistent anharmonic phonon concept for nonlinear lattices which allows for explicit "visualization." The idea uses a small external driving force which excites the front particles in a…
Heat conduction in graphite has been studied for decades because of its exceptionally large thermal anisotropy. While the bulk thermal conductivities along the in-plane and cross-plane directions are well known, less understood are the…
At micro- to nano-scales, classical size effects in heat conduction play an important role in suppressing the thermal transport process. Such effects occur when the characteristic lengths become commensurate to the mean free paths (MFPs) of…
Currently, effective phonons (renormalized or interacting phonons) rather than solitary waves (for short, solitons) are regarded as the energy carriers in nonlinear lattices. In this work, by using the approximate soliton solutions of the…
Harnessing the power of low-dimensional materials in thermal applications calls for a solid understanding of the anomalous thermal properties of such systems. We analyze thermal conduction in one-dimensional systems by determining the…
We study heat conduction in one dimensional (1D) anharmonic lattices analytically and numerically by using an effective phonon theory. It is found that every effective phonon mode oscillates quasi-periodically. By weighting the power…
In this work, we exemplify on a bulk silicon sample that Raman thermometry is capable of phonon mean free path (PMFP) spectroscopy. Our experimental approach is similar to the variation of different characteristic length scales $l_{c}$…
We here numerically investigate the heat transport behavior in a one-dimensional lattice with a soft-type (ST) anharmonic interparticle interaction. It is found that with the increase of system's temperature, while the introduction of ST…
Thermal management is extremely important for designing high-performance devices. The lattice thermal conductivity of materials is strongly dependent on the structural defects at different length scales, particularly point defects like…
The relaxation of a spatially sinusoidal temperature perturbation in a dielectric crystal at a temperature comparable to or higher than the Debye temperature is investigated theoretically. We assume that most phonons contributing to the…
We compute the phonon dispersion, density of states, and the Gr\"uneisen parameters of bulk palladium in the combined density functional theory (DFT) and dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). We find good agreement with experimental results…
Ballistic transport and resonance phenomena are elucidated in the one-dimensional $\alpha$-Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou (FPUT) model using an approach of computing thermal response functions. The existence of periodic oscillations in spatially…
We investigate anomalous energy transport processes in the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam $\beta$ lattice. They are determined by the maximum sound velocity of the relevant weakly damped energy carriers. That velocity can be numerically resolved by…
The temperature-dependent thermal conductivities of one-dimensional nonlinear Klein-Gordon lattices with soft on-site potential (soft-KG) have been investigated systematically. Similar to the previously studied hard-KG lattices, the…
Despite recent progress in the first-principles calculations and measurements of phonon mean-free-paths (MFPs), contribution of low-energy phonons to heat conduction in silicon is still inconclusive, as exemplified by the discrepancies…
