At micro- to nano-scales, classical size effects in heat conduction play an important role in suppressing the thermal transport process. Such effects occur when the characteristic lengths become commensurate to the mean free paths (MFPs) of…

We report a thermal transport study of IrSbSe, which crystallizes in a noncentrosymmetric cubic structure with the $P2_13$ space group and shows a narrow-gap semiconducting behavior. The large discrepancy between the activation energy for…

Understanding heat transport in organic semiconductors is of fundamental and practical relevance. Therefore, we study the lattice thermal conductivities of a series of (oligo)acenes, where an increasing number of rings per molecule leads to…

The propagation of a heat pulse in a single crystal and across grain boundaries (GBs) is simulated using a concurrent atomistic-continuum method furnished with a coherent phonon pulse model. With a heat pulse constructed based on a…

We compute the thermal conductivity of monolayer beryllene using the linearized phonon Boltzmann transport equation with interatomic force constants obtained from \textit{ab-initio} calculations. Monolayer beryllene exhibits an impressive…

The electronic and phonon transport properties of graphene-like boron phosphide (BP), boron arsenide (BAs), and boron antimonide (BSb) monolayers are investigated using first-principles calculations and Boltzmann theory. By considering both…

We develop an accurate interlayer pairwise potential derived from the \textit{ab-initio} calculations and investigate the thermal transport of silicene bilayers within the framework of equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. The…

Understanding the impact of lattice imperfections on nanoscale thermal transport is crucial for diverse applications ranging from thermal management to energy conversion. Grain boundaries (GBs) are ubiquitous defects in polycrystalline…

Electronic and thermal transport properties in two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have been extensively investigated due to their potential to miniaturize transistors. Microscopically, electron-phonon interactions are considered the…

We study the transport through two impurities or ``barriers'' in a one-dimensional quantum wire, taking into account the long-range $\frac1r$ Coulomb interactions. We compute the temperature-dependent conductance $G(T)$ of this system.…

In order to separate electronic and phonon mechanisms of thermal transport in high temperature superconducting Bi2212, we measured thermal conductivity of single crystals of Y-doped Bi2212, an insulating analogue of pure Bi2212, in the…

While using first-principles-based Boltzmann transport equation approach to predict the thermal conductivity of crystalline semiconductor materials has been a routine, the validity of the approach is seldom tested for high-temperature…

Thermal boundary resistance (TBR) in semiconductor-on-diamond structure bottlenecks efficient heat dissipation in electronic devices. In this study, to reduce the TBR between GaN and diamond, surface-activated bonding with a hybrid SiOx-Ar…

Topological phonon states in crystalline materials have attracted significant research interests due to their importance for fundamental physical phenomena, yet their implication on phonon thermal transport remains largely unexplored. Here,…

The first nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations of electron internal transport barriers (e-ITBs) in the National Spherical Torus Experiment show that reversed magnetic shear can suppress thermal transport by increasing the nonlinear critical…

We analyze from a microscopic point of view the feasibility of a hydrodynamic regime in a type-I Weyl semimetal driven by electron-electron interactions mediated by virtual phonons. Considering also the effects of of impurities and the…

We study nonlinear transport effects on the maximum efficiency and power for both inelastic and elastic thermoelectric generators. The former refers to phonon-assisted hopping in double quantum-dots, while the latter is represented by…

The Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity are two critical quantities to optimize simultaneously in designing thermoelectric materials, and they are determined by the dynamics of carrier scattering. We uncover a new regime where…

The problem of resonant transport of strongly interacting electrons through a one-dimensional single-level vibrating quantum dot is being considered. In this paper, we generalize the Komnik and Gogolin model [Phys. Rev. Lett., 90, 246403,…

We study the thermopower of a quantum dot weakly coupled to two reservoirs by tunnel junctions. At low temperatures the transport through the dot is suppressed by charging effects (Coulomb blockade). As a result the thermopower shows an…
