Because of high surface-to-volume ratio, the most prominent size effect limiting thermal transport originates from phonon-surface scattering in nanostructures. Herein we propose the mechanism of phonon scattering by the bond strength…

There is still a gap in understanding phonons scattering by geometrical defects at the nanoscale, and it remains a significant challenge for heat transfer management in nanoscale devices and systems. In this study, we aim to explore the…

Using the atomistic nonequilibrium Green's function, we find that thermal conductance of carbon nanotubes with presence of topological lattice imperfects is remarkably reduced, due to the strong Rayleigh scattering of high-frequency…

Point defects exist widely in engineering materials and are known to scatter vibrational modes to reduce thermal conductivity. The Klemens description of point defect scattering is the most prolific analytical model for this effect. This…

The mechanisms causing the reduction in lattice thermal conductivity in highly P- and B-doped Si are looked into in detail. Scattering rates of phonons by point defects, as well as by electrons, are calculated from first principles. Lattice…

Conduction between graphene layers is suppressed by momentum conservation whenever the layer stacking has a rotation. Here we show that phonon scattering plays a crucial role in facilitating interlayer conduction. The resulting dependence…

Phonon surface scattering has been at the core of heat transport engineering in nanoscale structures and devices. Herein, we demonstrate that this phonon pathway can be the sole mechanism only below a characteristic, size-dependent…

The problem of phonon scattering by strain fields caused by Stone-Wales (SW) defects in graphene is studied in the framework of the deformation potential approach. An explicit form of the phonon mean free path due to phonon-SW scattering is…

Using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics method(NEMD), we have found that the thermal conductivity of multilayer graphene nanoribbons monotonously decreases with the increase of the number of layers, such behavior can be attributed to the…

A theoretical study is presented on the scattering of graphene surface plasmons by defects in the graphene sheet they propagate in. These defects can be either natural (as domain boundaries, ripples and cracks, among others) or induced by…

We calculate the thermal conductivity of free-standing silicene using the phonon Boltzmann transport equation within the relaxation time approximation. In this calculation, we investigate the effects of sample size and different scattering…

Phonon scattering by electrons, or "phonon-electron scattering", has been recognized as a significant scattering channel for phonons in materials with high electron concentration, such as thermoelectrics and nanoelectronics, even at room…

Non-equilibrium transport and phonon branch-resolved size effects in single-layer graphene materials are studied under a multi-temperature kinetic model, which is developed for capturing the branch-dependent electron-phonon coupling.…

Understanding the impact of lattice imperfections on nanoscale thermal transport is crucial for diverse applications ranging from thermal management to energy conversion. Grain boundaries (GBs) are ubiquitous defects in polycrystalline…

The transport properties of carriers in semiconducting graphene nanoribbons are studied by comparing the effects of phonon, impurity, and line-edge roughness scattering. It is found that scattering from impurities located at the surface of…

It has been argued that stanene has lowest lattice thermal conductivity among 2D group-IV materials because of largest atomic mass, weakest interatomic bonding, and enhanced ZA phonon scattering due to the breaking of an out-of-plane…

Using spectral energy density method, we predict the phonon scattering mean lifetimes of polycrystalline graphene (PC-G) having polycrystallinity only along $\rm{x}$-axis with seven different misorientation (tilt) angles at room…

Declining the lattice thermal conductivity in graphene is essential for its thermoelectric applications. In high electron density systems, scatterings of phonons by electrons are no less than the phonon scatterings by other phonons. With…

We report on the temperature dependent electron transport in graphene at different carrier densities $n$. Employing an electrolytic gate, we demonstrate that $n$ can be adjusted up to 4$\times10^{14}$cm$^{-2}$ for both electrons and holes.…

We have investigated the main scattering mechanisms affecting mobility in graphene nanoribbons using detailed atomistic simulations. We have considered carrier scattering due to acoustic and optical phonons, edge roughness, single defects,…
