Understanding the thermal properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials and devices is essential for thermal management of 2D applications. Here we perform molecular dynamics simulations to evaluate both the specific heat of $MoS_{2}$ as…

Thermal properties in the metal/graphene (Gr) systems are analyzed by using an atomistic phonon transport model based on Landauer formalism and first-principles calculations. The specific structures under investigation include chemisorbed…

We study electric, thermal, and thermoelectric conductivities in the vicinity of a z=2 superconductor-diffusive metal transition in two dimensions, both in the high and low frequency limits. We find violation of the Wiedemann-Franz law and…

Transient grating spectroscopy has emerged as a useful technique to study thermal phonon transport because of its ability to perform thermal measurements over length scales comparable to phonon mean free paths (MFPs). While several prior…

We investigate the anharmonic phonon scattering across a weakly interacting interface by developing a quantum mechanics-based theory. We find that the contribution from anharmonic three-phonon scatterings to interfacial thermal conductance…

We introduce a new model for quasi one-dimensional materials, motivated by intriguing but not yet well-understood experiments that have shown two-dimensional polymer films to be promising materials for thermoelectric devices. We consider a…

We report our theoretical calculations on the temperature and energy dependent electrical conductivity of gapped graphene within the framework of Boltzmann transport formalism. Since screening effects have known to be of vital importance in…

The capacity to electrically detect phonons, ultimately at the single-phonon limit, is a key requirement for many schemes for phonon-based quantum computing, so-called quantum phononics. Here, we predict that by exploiting the strong…

Heat transfer across interfaces of graphene and polar dielectrics (e.g. SiO2) could be mediated by direct phonon coupling, as well as electronic coupling with remote interfacial phonons (RIPs). To understand the relative contribution of…

Phonon heat transport in mesoscopic systems is investigated using methods analogous to the Landauer description of electrical conductance. A "universal heat conductance" expression that depends on the properties of the conducting pathway…

Extreme near-field heat transfer between metallic surfaces is a subject of debate as the state-of-the-art theory and experiments are in disagreement on the energy carriers driving heat transport. In an effort to elucidate the physics of…

We reveal that phononic thermal transport in graphene is not immune to grain boundaries (GBs) aligned along the direction of the temperature gradient. Non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations uncover a large reduction in the phononic…

We employ dual-gated 30{\deg}-twisted bilayer graphene to demonstrate simultaneous ultra-high mobility and conductivity (up to 40 mS at room temperature), unattainable in a single-layer of graphene. We find quantitative agreement with a…

Two-dimensional (2D) semimetals beyond graphene have been relatively unexplored in the atomically-thin limit. Here we introduce a facile growth mechanism for semimetallic WTe2 crystals, then fabricate few-layer test structures while…

Starting from our previous work where we have obtained a system of coupled integro-differential equations for acoustic sound waves and phonon density fluctuations in 2D crystals, we derive here the corresponding hydrodynamic equations and…

We demonstrate the coherent transport of thermal energy in superlattices by introducing a microscopic definition of the phonon coherence length. We demonstrate how to distinguish a coherent transport regime from diffuse interface scattering…

Declining the lattice thermal conductivity in graphene is essential for its thermoelectric applications. In high electron density systems, scatterings of phonons by electrons are no less than the phonon scatterings by other phonons. With…

Graphene revealed a number of unique properties beneficial for electronics, including exceptionally high electron mobility and widely tunable Fermi level. However, graphene does not have an electron energy band gap, which presents a serious…

Electron transport through a double quantum dot system is studied with taking into account electron-phonon interaction. The Keldysh nonequilibrium Green function formalism is used to compute the current and transmission coefficient of the…

Nonequilibrium multi-carrier thermal transport is essential for both scientific research and technological applications in electronic, spintronic, and energy conversion devices. This article reviews the fundamentals of phonon, electron,…
