Heat transport in nanoscale systems is both hard to measure microscopically, and hard to interpret. Ballistic and diffusive heat flow coexist, adding confusion. This paper looks at a very simple case: a nanoscale crystal repeated…
Departures in phonon heat conduction from diffusion have been extensively observed in nanostructures through their thermal conductivity reduction and largely explained with classical size effects neglecting phonon's wave nature. Here, we…
We find that a competition between dispersion forces among molecules in solids and their phonon mediated coupling leads to a natural length scale based on molecular parameters and relevant to decipher glass anomalies. For amorphous systems,…
