We study thermal transport through Pt nanowires that bridge planar contacts as a function of wire length and vibrational frequency of the contacts. When phonons in the contacts have lower average frequencies than those in the wires thermal…
The ab initio model for heat propagation is the phonon transport equation, a Boltzmann-like kinetic equation. When two materials are put side by side, the heat that propagates from one material to the other experiences thermal boundary…
Engineering phonon transport in physical systems is a subject of interest in the study of materials and plays a crucial role in controlling energy and heat transfer. Of particular interest are non-reciprocal phononic systems, which in…
Transient grating spectroscopy has emerged as a useful technique to study thermal phonon transport because of its ability to perform thermal measurements over length scales comparable to phonon mean free paths (MFPs). While several prior…
As nanostructured devices become prevalent, interfaces often play an important role in thermal transport phenomena. However, interfacial thermal transport remains poorly understood due to complex physics across a wide range of length scales…
This paper presents an ab initio methodology to account for electron-phonon interactions in 2D materials, focusing on transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). It combines density functional theory and maximally localized Wannier functions…
Traditional theories of interfacial heat transfer by atomic vibrations, also known as phonons, do not explain how vibrational mode interactions contribute to interface conductance. Traditional methods also use the concept of phonons as…
Exciton transport in 2D semiconductors holds promise for room-temperature, ultra-compact optoelectronic devices, but it is limited by short propagation distances. Hybridization of excitons with cavity photons to form exciton-polaritons can…
The thermal conductance by phonons of a quasi-one-dimensional solid with isotope or defect scattering is studied using the Landauer formalism for thermal transport. The conductance shows a crossover from localized to Ohmic behavior, just as…
Classical thermal transport theories that preserve rotational symmetry, predict strong anharmonic scattering of out-of-plane lattice vibrational modes called flexural phonons in flat suspended graphene sheets. Such strong scattering…

Studying charge transport in models with nonlocal carrier--phonon interaction is difficult because it requires finite-temperature real-time correlation functions of mixed carrier--phonon operators. Focusing on models with discrete undamped…
