A systematic study was performed to measure the effective thermal conductivity of ceramic particle beds, a promising heat transfer and thermal energy storage media for concentrating solar power (CSP). The thermal conductivity of the ceramic…
Allotropes of carbon, such as diamond and graphene, are among the best conductors of heat. We monitored the evolution of thermal conductivity in thin graphite as a function of temperature and thickness and found an intimate link between…
Crystalline solids are generally known as excellent heat conductors, amorphous materials or glasses as thermal insulators. It has thus come as a surprise that certain crystal structures defy this paradigm. A prominent example are type-I…
A comprehensive literature review on recently rediscovered Co- and/or CoNi-based superalloys, strengthened by the {\gamma}' phase, revealed a relationship between the configurational entropy of the system and the {\gamma}' solvus…
Knowledge of the mean free path distribution of heat-carrying phonons is key to understanding phonon-mediated thermal transport. We demonstrate that thermal conductivity measurements of thin membranes spanning a wide thickness range can be…
We compute the contribution of phonons to the thermal conductivity in the core of superfluid neutron stars. We use effective field theory techniques to extract the phonon scattering rates, written as a function of the equation of state of…
Phasons are collective low-energy modes that appear in disparate condensed matter systems such as quasicrystals, incommensurate structures, fluctuating charge density waves, and Moir\'e superlattices. They share several similarities with…
Because of high surface-to-volume ratio, the most prominent size effect limiting thermal transport originates from phonon-surface scattering in nanostructures. Herein we propose the mechanism of phonon scattering by the bond strength…
Information over the phonon band structure is crucial to predicting many thermodynamic properties of materials, such as thermal transport coefficients. Highly accurate phonon dispersion curves can be, in principle, calculated in the…
The mechanism of heat transfer and the contribution of electron-phonon coupling to thermal conductance of a metal-semiconductor interface remains unclear in the present literature. We report ab initio simulations of a technologically…
SiC is a robust semiconductor material considered ideal for high-power application due to its material stability and large bulk thermal conductivity defined by the very fast phonons. In this paper, however, we show that both…
The wave property of phonons is employed to explore the thermal transport across a finite periodic array of nano-scatterers such as circular and triangular holes. As thermal phonons are generated in all directions, we study their…

For high efficiency thermoelectric power conversion not only improvement of materials properties but also prediction and synthesis of new thermoelectric materials is needed. Here we have carried out a systematic investigation on…
We have studied the effects of phonon-boundary scattering on the thermal transport in topological Kondo insulator, SmB$_6$. The studies have been performed by using the $3\omega$ method in the temperature range 300K - 3K. We show that the…
Prevailing nanostructuring strategies focus on increasing phonon scattering and reducing the mean-free-path of phonons across the spectrum. In nanoporous Si materials, for example, boundary scattering reduces thermal conductivity…
