Exotic nondiffusive heat transfer regimes such as the second sound, where heat propagates as a damped wave at speeds comparable to those of mechanical disturbances, often occur at cryogenic temperatures (T) and nanosecond timescales in…
In the hydrodynamic regime, phonons drift with a nonzero collective velocity under a temperature gradient, reminiscent of viscous gas and fluid flow. The study of hydrodynamic phonon transport has spanned over half a century but has been…
We present a study of thermal conductivity, $\kappa$, in undoped and doped strontium titanate in a wide temperature range (2-400 K) and detecting different regimes of heat flow. In undoped SrTiO$_{3}$, $\kappa$ evolves faster than cubic…
The proximity to structural phase transitions in IV-VI thermoelectric materials is one of the main reasons for their large phonon anharmonicity and intrinsically low lattice thermal conductivity $\kappa$. However, the $\kappa$ of GeTe…
Based on first-principles calculations and full iterative solution of the linearized Boltzmann-Peierls transport equation for phonons within three-phonon scattering framework, we characterize the lattice thermal conductivities $\kappa$ of…
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…
A first-principles density functional method along with the direct solution of linearized Boltzmann transport equations are employed to systematically analyze the low-temperature thermal transport in crystalline GeTe. The extensive thermal…
Phonon size effects induce ballistic transport in nanomaterials, challenging Fourier's law. Nondiffusive heat transport is captured by the Peierls-Boltzmann transport equation (BTE), commonly solved under the relaxation time approximation…
Measuring the thermal conductivity ($\kappa$) of water at extreme conditions is a challenging task and few experimental data are available. We predict $\kappa$ for temperatures and pressures relevant to the conditions of the Earth mantle,…
We study the thermal transport properties of three CaF$_{2}$ polymorphs up to a pressure of 30 GPa using first-principle calculations and an interatomic potential based on machine learning. The lattice thermal conductivity $\kappa$ is…
We investigate the microscopic mechanism of ultralow lattice thermal conductivity ($\kappa_l$) of TlInTe$_2$ and its weak temperature dependence using a unified theory of lattice heat transport that considers contributions arising from the…
In molecular-based quantum-spin-liquid candidate EtMe$_3$Sb[Pd(dmit)$_2$]$_2$ with two-dimensional $S$=1/2 triangular lattice, a finite residual linear term in the thermal conductivity, $\kappa_0/T\equiv\kappa/T (T \rightarrow 0)$, has been…
We carry out a systematic study of the thermal conductivity of four single-layer transition metal dichalcogenides, MX$_2$ (M = Mo, W; X = S, Se) from first-principles by solving the Boltzmann Transport Equation (BTE). We compare three…
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.…
Penta-graphene (PG) has been identified as a novel 2D material with an intrinsic bandgap, which makes it especially promising for electronics applications. In this work, we use first-principles lattice dynamics and iterative solution of the…
We propose a first-principles model of minimum lattice thermal conductivity ($\kappa_{\rm L}^{\rm min}$) based on a unified theoretical treatment of thermal transport in crystals and glasses. We apply this model to thousands of inorganic…
Recent experiments have provided compelling and renewed interest in phonon hydrodynamics. At variance with ordinary diffusive heat transport, this regime is primarily governed by momentum-conserving phonon collisions. At the mesoscopic…
Understanding the interplay between various design strategies (for instance, bonding heterogeneity and lone pair induced anharmonicity) to achieve ultralow lattice thermal conductivity ($\kappa_l$) is indispensable for discovering novel…
Thermal transport in highly anharmonic, amorphous, or alloyed materials often deviates from the predictions of conventional phonon-based models. First-principles approaches have introduced a coherent contribution to account for these…
The lead chalcogenides represent an important family of functional materials, in particular due to the benchmark high-temperature thermoelectric performance of PbTe. A number of recent investigations, experimental and theoretical, have…
