Through the integration of the power spectral density, we obtain temperature profiles of both multi-segment harmonic and anharmonic systems, showing the presence of an anomalous negative temperature gradient inside the interfacial segment.…
Nanoscale defects such as dislocations, have a significant impact on the phonon thermal transport properties in non-metallic materials. To unravel these effects, understanding of defect phonon modes is essential. Herein, at the atomic…
Interfaces impede heat flow in micro/nanostructured systems. Conventional theories for interfacial thermal transport were derived based on bulk phonon properties of the materials making up the interface without explicitly considering the…
We measure the temperature dependence of the Raman spectra of metallic and semiconducting nanotubes. We show that the different trend in metallic tubes is due to phonon re-normalization induced by the variation in electronic temperature,…
The class of layered 3D-topological insulators have shown intriguingly anomalous temperature dependence in their thermal expansion coefficients. It was proposed that stacking faults are the origin of the observed anomalous thermal…
Understanding the microscopic processes affecting the bulk thermal conductivity is crucial to develop more efficient thermoelectric materials. PbTe is currently one of the leading thermoelectric materials, largely thanks to its low thermal…
We report high-resolution inelastic x-ray measurements of the soft phonon mode in the charge-density-wave compound TiSe$_2$. We observe a complete softening of a transverse optic phonon at the L point, i.e. q = (0.5, 0, 0.5), at T ~…
Bismuth selenide, a benchmark topological insulator, grows in a trigonal structure at ambient conditions and exhibits a number of enticing properties related to the formation of Dirac surface states. Besides this polytype, a metastable…
We report a comprehensive Raman study of the phonon behaviour in PdSe$_2$ in the temperature range of 5 K to 300 K. A remarkable change in the Raman spectrum is observed at 120 K: a significant enhancement of the out-of-plane phonon…
Bismuth oxyselenide (Bi$_2$O$_2$Se) attracts great interest as a potential n-type complement to p-type thermoelectric oxides in practical applications. Previous investigations were generally focused on polycrystals. Here, we performed a…
We examine anharmonic contributions to the optical phonon modes in bulk $T_d$-MoTe$_2$ through temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopy. At temperatures ranging from 100 K to 200 K, we find that all modes redshift linearly with temperature…
We report Raman spectra measurements on a MoS2 monolayer supported on SiO2 as a function of temperature. Unlike in previous studies, the positions of the two main Raman modes, E2g1 and A1g exhibited nonlinear temperature dependence.…
Graphene and its derivatives including hexagonal BN are notorious for their large negative thermal expansion over a wide range of temperature which is quite unusual. We attempt to analyze this unusual behavior on the basis of character of…
We adopted and extended an efficient Gr\"uneisen formalism to study the phonon anharmonicity and linear thermal expansion coefficients (TECs) of trigonal bismuth selenide (Bi$_2$Se$_3$) and antimony telluride (Sb$_2$Te$_3$). Anharmonicity…
The temperature and volume dependences of the thermal conductivity of solid Kr(1-x)Xe(x)solution are analyzed within the model in which heat is transferred by mobile low-frequency phonons; above the phonon mobility edge this is done by…
Dislocations can greatly enhance the figure of merit of thermoelectric materials by prominently reducing thermal conductivity. However, the evolution of phonon modes with different energies when they propagate through a single dislocation…
Polarized Raman scattering spectra of superconducting K$_x$Fe$_{2-y}$Se$_2$ and nonsuperconducting K$_{0.8}$Fe$_{1.8}$Co$_{0.2}$Se$_2$ single crystals were measured in a temperature range from 10 K up to 300 K. Two Raman active modes from…
We measured the temperature dependent infrared reflectivity spectra of MnF2 between 4 K and room temperature. We show that the phonon spectrum undergoes a strong renormalization at TN. The ab-initio calculation we performed on this compound…
Thermal conductivity is an important property for almost all applications involving heat transfer, ranging from energy and microelectronics to food processing and textiles. The theory and modeling of crystalline materials is in some sense a…
Lead chalcogenides such as PbS, PbSe, and PbTe are of interest for their exceptional thermoelectric properties and strongly anharmonic lattice dynamics. Although PbTe has received the most attention, PbSe has a lower thermal conductivity…
