High resolution data on low energy phonon branches (acoustic and soft optic) along the three principal symmetry axes in pure KTaO3 were obtained by cold neutron inelastic scattering between 10 and 80 K. Additional off-principal axis…

The experimentally observed order-of-magnitude reduction in the thermal conductivity along the growth axis of (GaAs)_n/(AlAs)_n (or n x n) superlattices is investigated theoretically for (2x2), (3x3) and (6x6) structures using an accurate…

Phonon densities of states (DOS) of bcc $\alpha$-$^{57}$Fe were measured from room temperature through the 1044K Curie transition and the 1185K fcc $\gamma$-Fe phase transition using nuclear resonant inelastic x-ray scattering. At higher…

The temperature dependent surface relaxation of Ag(111) is calculated by density-functional theory. At a given temperature, the equilibrium geometry is determined by minimizing the Helmholtz free energy within the quasiharmonic…

In ballistic transport, heat carriers such as phonons travel through the solid without any scattering or interaction. Therefore, there is no temperature gradient in the solid, which seems to transport the heat without getting heated itself.…

Inelastic scattering processes typically introduce friction among carriers and reduce the transport properties of photons, phonons, and electrons. However, we predict that in contrast to the role in reducing thermal conductivity,…

We present a neutron scattering study of phonons in single crystals of (Pb$_{0.5}$Sn$_{0.5}$)$_{1-x}$In$_x$Te with $x=0$ (metallic, but nonsuperconducting) and $x=0.2$ (nonmetallic normal state, but superconducting). We map the phonon…

We calculate the lattice thermal conductivities of the pyrite-type ZnSe2 at pressures of 0 and 10 GPa using the linearized phonon Boltzmann transport equation. We obtain a very low value [0.69 W/(mK) at room temperature at 0 GPa],…

Understanding the mechanisms of thermal conduction in graphene is a long-lasting research topic, due to its high thermal conductivity. Peierls-Boltzmann transport equation (PBTE) based studies have revealed many unique phonon transport…

We compute the thermal conductivity of monolayer beryllene using the linearized phonon Boltzmann transport equation with interatomic force constants obtained from \textit{ab-initio} calculations. Monolayer beryllene exhibits an impressive…

We report on electric-field and temperature dependent transport measurements in exfoliated thin crystals of Bi$_{2}$Se$_{3}$ topological insulator. At low temperatures ($< 50$ K) and when the chemical potential lies inside the bulk gap, the…

This study explores the relationship between phonon dynamics and negative thermal expansion (NTE) in Cu$_x$Ni$_{2-x}$(CN)$_4$. The partial replacement of nickel (II) by copper (II) in Ni(CN)$_2$ leads to a line phase, CuNi(CN)$_4$ (x = 1),…

Peierls-Boltzmann transport equation, coupled with third-order anharmonic lattice dynamics calculations, has been widely used to model lattice thermal conductivity ($\kappa_{l}$) in bulk crystals. However, its application to materials with…
