We study the lattice thermal conductivity of two-dimensional (2D) pentagonal systems, such as penta-silicene and penta-germanene. Penta-silicene has been recently reported, while the stable penta-germanene, belonging to the same group IV…
It is indisputable that the search for high-temperature superconductivity has stimulated the work on low-dimensional organic conductors at its beginning. Since the discovery of true metal-like conduction in molecular compounds more than 50…
Quantum simulations are quickly becoming an indispensable tool for studying particle transport in correlated lattice models. One of the central topics in the study of transport is the bad-metal behavior, characterized by the direct current…
Efficient thermoelectric materials require a rare and contraindicated combination of materials properties: large electrical conductivity, large Seebeck coefficient, and low thermal conductivity. One strategy to achieve the first two…
The pursuit of materials combining light constituent elements with ultralow lattice thermal conductivity ($\kappa_{\mathrm{L}}$) is crucial to advancing technologies like thermoelectrics and thermal barrier coatings, yet it remains a…
Layered conductive metal-organic frameworks (LCMOFs) show great promise in energy and electronics due to their high electrical conductivity and tunable pore structures. They are considered ideal "phonon-glass, electron-crystal" materials.…
Studies of thermal transport in long-range (LR)interacting systems are currently particularly challenging. The main difficulties lie in the choice of boundary conditions and the definition of heat current when driving systems in an…

$BaWO_{4}$, $Ce_{2/3}\square_{1/3}WO_{4}$ and $La_{2/3}\square_{1/3}WO_{4}$ polycrystalline ceramics were synthesized by conventional solid-state reaction route. The effect of cation-deficiency on the crystallographic structure,…
We outline a general approach to the computation of transport properties of interacting systems at low temperetures and frequencies. We show that if the fixed point and the irrelevant operators around it are known, then by studying the…
Indium iodides, which adopt layered or molecular-crystal-like arrangements depending on composition, are expected to exhibit low lattice thermal conductivity because of their heavy constituent atoms and weak In-I bonding. In this work, we…
Thermoelectric materials can be used to construct devices which recycle waste heat into electricity. However, the best known thermoelectrics are based on rare, expensive or even toxic elements, which limits their widespread adoption. To…
Data-driven methods, in particular machine learning, can help to speed up the discovery of new materials by finding hidden patterns in existing data and using them to identify promising candidate materials. In the case of superconductors,…
The structural and thermal properties of bulk Td-WTe2 have been studied by using first-principles calculations. We find that the lattice thermal conductivity of WTe2 is anisotropic, with the highest value along a-axis and lowest one along…
The intermetallic compound ZnSb is an interesting thermoelectric material, largely due to its low lattice thermal conductivity. The origin of the low thermal conductivity has so far been speculative. Using multi-temperature single crystal…
The thermal conductivity $\kappa$ of a material is an important parameter in many different applications. Optimization strategies of $\kappa$ often require insight into the dominant phonon scattering processes of the material under study.…
