Recently, $\mathrm{BaSn_2}$ is predicted to be a strong topological insulator by the first-principle calculations. It is well known that topological insulator has a close connection to thermoelectric material, such as $\mathrm{Bi_2Te_3}$…

Owing to its two dimensional electronic structure, graphene exhibits many unique properties. One of them is a wave vector and temperature dependent plasmon in the infrared range. Theory predicts that due to these plasmons, graphene can be…

Extracting reliable information on certain physical properties of materials, like thermal behavior, such as thermal transport, which can be very computationally demanding. Aiming to overcome such difficulties in the particular case of…

We have combined DFT calculations with the Boltzmann semiclassical transport theory to investigate the effect of selective hydrogenation on the thermoelectric properties of tetra-penta-deca-hexagonal graphene (TPDH-gr), a recently proposed…

Current thermometry techniques lack the spatial resolution required to see the temperature gradients in typical, highly-scaled modern transistors. As a step toward addressing this problem, we have measured the temperature dependence of the…

Graphene is considered to be a promising candidate for future nano-electronics due to its exceptional electronic properties. Unfortunately, the graphene field-effect-transistors (FETs) cannot be turned off effectively due to the absence of…

Because graphene is an atomically two-dimensional gapless semiconductor with nearly identical conduction and valence bands, graphene-based bilayers are attractive candidates for high-temperature electron-hole pair condensation. We present…

Nanographene-based magnetism at interfaces offers an avenue to designer quantum materials towards novel phases of matter and atomic-scale applications. Key to spintronics applications at the nanoscale is bistable spin-crossover which…

In the emergent field of quantum technology, the ability to manage heat at the nanoscale and in cryogenic conditions is crucial for enhancing device performance in terms of noise, coherence, and sensitivity. Here, we demonstrate the active…

Polymers are usually considered as thermal insulators and their applications are limited by their low thermal conductivity. However, recent studies showed that certain polymers have surprisingly high thermal conductivity, some of which are…

We reveal through extensive DFT calculations, confronted to key experimental facts, the hidden penta-silicene nature of single and double strand chiral Si nanoribbons perfectly aligned on Ag(110) surfaces, that were discovered in 2005, but…

A comprehensive rational thermal material design paradigm requires the ability to reduce and enhance the thermal conductivities of nanomaterials. In contrast to the existing ability to reduce the thermal conductivity, methods that allow to…

We study the thermoelectric properties of three-dimensional topological Anderson insulators with line dislocations. We show that at high densities of dislocations the thermoelectric figure of merit ZT can be dominated by one-dimensional…

Bismuth telluride-based materials is the only commercially viable room-temperature thermoelectric material, despite its limited tellurium and poor mechanical properties. The search for materials with a high figure of merit (zT > 1.00) near…

Superconductivity in two-dimensional compounds is widely concerned, not only due to its application in constructing nano-superconducting devices, but also for the general scientific interests. Very recently, borophene (two-dimensional boron…
