The Kapitza or thermal boundary resistance (TBR), which limits heat dissipation from a thin film to its substrate, is a major factor in the thermal management of ultrathin nanoelectronic devices and is widely assumed to be a property of…
Contrary to most materials, graphene exhibits a negative thermal expansion coefficient (TEC), i.e it contracts when heated. This contraction is due to the thermal excitation of low energy out-of-plane vibration modes. These flexural modes…
Graphene, a two-dimensional material with a high mobility and a tunable conductivity, is uniquely suited for plasmonics. The frequency dispersion of plasmons in bulk graphene has been studied both theoretically and experimentally, whereas…
We study the effect of the electron-phonon interaction on the finite frequency dependent electronic thermal conductivity of two dimensional graphene. We calculate it for various acoustic phonons present in graphene and characterized by…
We analyze the diffusive motion of kink solitons governed by the thermal sine-Gordon equation. We analytically calculate the correlation function of the position of the kink center as well as the diffusion coefficient, both up to…
The effect of thermal fluctuations on the dynamics of a gapped quantum magnet is studied using inelastic neutron scattering on copper nitrate, a model material for the one-dimensional (1D) bond alternating Heisenberg chain, combined with…
We have investigated electron dynamics in top gated graphene by measuring the gate admittance of a diffusive graphene capacitor in a broad frequency range as a function of carrier density. The density of states, conductivity and diffusion…
Temperature and field dependent measurements of the electrical resistance of different natural graphite samples, suggest the existence of superconductivity at room temperature in some regions of the samples. To verify whether…
The enhancement of thermoelectric figure of merit ZT requires to either increase the power factor or reduce the phonon conductance, or even both. In graphene, the high phonon thermal conductivity is the main factor limiting the…
Thermal rectifiers are devices that have different thermal conductivities in opposing directions of heat flow. The realization of practical thermal rectifiers relies significantly on a sound understanding of the underlying mechanisms of…
Structural defects in one-dimensional heat conductors couple longitudinal (stretching) and transverse (bending) vibrations. This coupling results in the scattering of longitudinal phonons to transverse phonons and backwards. We show that…
Properties of phonons - quanta of the crystal lattice vibrations - in graphene have attracted strong attention of the physics and engineering communities. Acoustic phonons are the main heat carriers in graphene near room temperature while…
Friction-induced energy dissipation impedes the performance of nanoscale devices during their relative motion. Nevertheless, an ingeniously designed structure which utilizes graphene topping can tune the friction force signal by inducing…
The phonon modes at finite temperature in graphene and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) are investigated by the mode projection technique combined with molecular dynamics simulation. It is found that the quadratic phonon spectrum of…
The discovery of unusual heat conduction properties of graphene has led to a surge of theoretical and experimental studies of phonon transport in two-dimensional material systems. The rapidly developing graphene thermal field spans from…
The understanding of the structural and thermal properties of membranes, low-dimensional flexible systems in a space of higher dimension, is pursued in many fields from string theory to chemistry and biology. The case of a two-dimensional…
Using the linearized Boltzmann transport equation and perturbation theory, we analyze the reduction in the intrinsic thermal conductivity of few-layer graphene sheets accounting for all possible three-phonon scattering events. Even with…
The phonon thermal transport properties of twisted bi-layer graphene are investigated using lattice dynamics and the Boltzmann transport equation. The thermal conductivities of 13.2 and 21.8 twisted configurations are 56% and 36% lower than…
Layered materials have uncommonly anisotropic thermal properties due to their strong in-plane covalent bonds and weak out-of-plane van der Waals interactions. Here we examine heat flow in graphene (graphite), h-BN, MoS2, and WS2 monolayers…
We present a detailed analysis of the vibrational spectrum and heat capacity of suspended mesoscopic dielectric plates, for various thickness-to-side ratios at sub-Kelvin temperatures. The vibrational modes of the suspended cavity are…
