First-principles calculations are employed to investigate the phonon transport of BiCuOSe. Our calculations reproduce the lattice thermal conductivity of BiCuOSe. The calculated gruneisen parameter is 2.4~2.6 at room temperature, a fairly…

We compute atomistically the heat conductance for ultra-thin pristine silicon nanowires (SiNWs) with diameters ranging from 1 to 5 nm. The room temperature thermal conductance is found to be highly anisotropic: wires oriented along the…

The thermal conductivity of several diamond-like materials is calculated from a kinetic-collective model. From this approach, a thermal conductivity expression is obtained that includes a transition from a kinetic (free) to a collective…

The calculation of the nonlinear conductance of a single-molecule junction is revisited. The self energy on the junction resulting from the electron-phonon interaction has at low temperatures logarithmic singularities (in the real part) and…

We calculate the lattice thermal conductivities of the pyrite-type ZnSe2 at pressures of 0 and 10 GPa using the linearized phonon Boltzmann transport equation. We obtain a very low value [0.69 W/(mK) at room temperature at 0 GPa],…

We report a theoretical model for a thermal transistor in dielectric four-terminal nanostructures based on mesoscopic ballistic phonon transport, in which a steady thermal flow condition of system is obtained to set up the temperature field…

This work investigates the impact of device length on thermal conductivity in periodic and aperiodic superlattices (SLs). While it is well known that thermal conductivity in aperiodic SLs exhibits a weaker dependence on device length…

Low dimensional structures have demonstrated improved thermoelectric (TE) performance because of a drastic reduction in their thermal conductivity, {\kappa}l. This has been observed for a variety of materials, even for traditionally poor…

The lattice thermal conductivity of silicon clathrate framework Si$_{23}$ and two Zintl clathrates, [Si$_{19}$P$_{4}$]Cl$_{4}$ and Na$_{4}$[Al$_{4}$Si$_{19}$], is investigated by using an iterative solution of the linearized Boltzmann…

We develop a molecular dynamics framework to compute the mode-resolved phonon spectral density from classical correlations of an annihilation-like phonon variable. For harmonic oscillators, classical molecular dynamics exactly reproduces…

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 thoroughly investigate the microscopic mechanisms of the thermal transport in orthorhombic \textit{o}-CsCu$_5$S$_3$ by integrating the first-principles-based self-consistent phonon calculations (SCP) with the linearized Wigner transport…

Many crystals, such as lanthanum zirconate (La2Zr2O7), exhibit a flat temperature dependence of thermal conductivity at elevated temperatures. This phenomenon has recently been attributed to the inter-band phonon tunneling (or diffuson)…

Nanoconfinement induces many intriguing non-Fourier heat conduction phenomena that have been extensively studied in recent years, such as the nonlinear temperature profile inside the devices, the temperature jumps near the contacts, and the…

Noble gas atoms such as Kr and Xe are byproducts of nuclear fission in nuclear plants. How to trap and confine these volatile even radioactive gases is particularly challenging. Recent studies have shown that they can be trapped in…

The Landauer formula allows us to describe theoretically the conductance in terms of the transmission function in a mesoscopic system. We propose a general method to evaluate the transmission function in the complex domain for systems…
