Phonon reflection and transmission at the interfaces plays a fundamental role in cryogenic particle detectors, in which the optimization of the phonon signal at the sensor (in case of phonon-mediated detectors) or the minimization of the…
Recent experiments have indicated that employing nanostructures can enhance interfacial heat transport, but the mechanism by which different structural morphologies and dimensions contribute to the full-spectrum phonon interfacial transport…
Heat transport at nanoscales in semiconductors is investigated with a statistical method. The Boltzmann Transport Equation (BTE) which characterize phonons motion and interaction within the crystal lattice has been simulated with a Monte…
A Full Band Monte Carlo simulator has been developed to consider phonon transmission across interfaces that are perpendicular to the heat flux. This solver of the Boltzmann transport equation which does not require any assumption on the…
We compute the transient dynamics of phonons in contact with high energy "hot" charge carriers in 12 polar and non-polar semiconductors, using a first-principles Boltzmann transport framework. For most materials, we find that the decay in…
The Boltzmann transport equation is one of the most relevant framework to study the heat transport at the nanoscale, beyond the diffusive regime and up to the micrometer-scale. In the general case of three-dimensional devices, the particle…
Understanding ballistic phonon transport effects in transient thermoreflectance experiments and explaining the observed deviations from classical theory remains a challenge. Diffusion equations are simple and computationally efficient but…
Non-diffusive thermal transport has gained extensive research interest recently due to its important implications on fundamental understanding of material phonon mean free path distributions and many nanoscale energy applications. In this…
We introduce and model a three-dimensional (3D) atomic-scale phononic metamaterial producing two-path phonon interference antiresonances to control the heat flux spectrum. We show that a crystal plane partially embedded with defect-atom…

It is known that one-dimensional anomalous heat propagation is usually characterized by a L\'{e}vy walk superdiffusive spreading function with two side peaks located on the fronts due to the finite velocity of acoustic phonons, and in the…
