An efficient implicit kinetic scheme is developed to solve the stationary phonon Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) based on the non-gray model including the phonon dispersion and polarization. Due to the wide range of the dispersed phonon…
Phosphorene has been attracted intense interest due to its unexpected high carrier mobility and distinguished anisotropic optoelectronic and electronic properties. In this work, we unraveled strain engineered phosphorene as a photocatalyst…
Displacement fields are one of the main tuning knobs employed to engineer flat electronic band dispersions in twisted van der Waals multilayers. Here, we show that electric fields can also be used to tune the phonon dispersion of moir\'e…
High-performance thermoelectric (TE) materials are crucial for efficient waste-heat recovery and solid-state cooling technologies. A persistent challenge in TE materials design arises from the strong interdependence among the electrical…
The intrinsic charge transport of stanene is investigated by using density function theory and density function perturbation theory coupled with Boltzmann transport equations from first principles. The accurate Wannier interpolations are…
We numerically analyze the interaction of small-amplitude phonon waves with standing gap discrete breather (DB) in strained graphene. To make the system support gap DB, strain is applied to create a gap in the phonon spectrum. We only focus…
Generic properties of elastic phonon transport at a disordered interface are studied. The results show that phonon transmittance is a strong function of frequency and the disorder correlation length. At frequencies lower than the van Hove…
Polar phonons can induce electric fields in an adjacent layer, whether non-polar or polar, producing remote phonon scattering of electrons. Treatment of remote phonon scattering has been based on the dielectric continuum model which takes…
We present a neutron scattering study of phonons in single crystals of (Pb$_{0.5}$Sn$_{0.5}$)$_{1-x}$In$_x$Te with $x=0$ (metallic, but nonsuperconducting) and $x=0.2$ (nonmetallic normal state, but superconducting). We map the phonon…
Aluminum scandium nitride alloy (Al1-xScxN) is regarded as a promising material for high-performance acoustic devices used in wireless communication systems. Phonon scattering and heat conduction processes govern the energy dissipation in…

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…
The band convergence strategy, which improves Seebeck coefficient by inducing multi-valley in bandstructures, has been widely used in thermoelectric performance (TE) enhancing. However, the phonon-assisted intervalley scattering effect is…
Despite many of the applications of graphene rely on its uneven stiffness and high thermal conductivity, the mechanical properties of graphene, and in general of all 2D materials, are still elusive. The harmonic theory predicts a quadratic…
Recent experiments on metallic nanohybrids have revealed unusually strong electron-phonon effects emerging from nanoscale interfaces, despite the weak coupling character of the constituent bulk materials. Motivated by these observations, we…
Field-effect transistors (FETs) predominantly utilize electrons for signal processing in modern electronics. In contrast, phonon-based field-effect transistors (PFETs)-which employ phonons for active thermal management-remain markedly…
There is great interest in the development of novel nanomachines that use charge, spin, or energy transport, to enable new sensors with unprecedented measurement capabilities. Electrical and thermal transport in these mesoscopic systems…
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…
