Phonons, quantized vibrations of the atomic lattice, are fundamental to understanding thermal transport, structural stability, and phase behavior in crystalline solids. Despite advances in computational materials science, most predictions…
The features of phonon spectra and their effect on the vibrational heat capacity of linear chains of inert gas atoms adsorbed onto a substrate, which is the surface of nanotubes bound to a nanobundle. The influence of the substrate results…
Electron-phonon superconductors at high pressures have displayed the highest values of critical superconducting temperature $T_c$ on record, now rapidly approaching room temperature. Despite the importance of high-$P$ superconductivity in…
Raman spectra from silicon nanostructures, recorded using excitation laser power density of 1.0 kW/cm^2, is employed here to reveal the dominance of thermal effects at temperatures higher than the room temperature. Room temperature Raman…
The thermal properties of solids under nanoscale confinement are currently not understood at the atomic level. Recent numerical studies have highlighted the presence of a minimum in the thermal conductivity as a function of thickness for…
We explore polaronic quantum transport in three-dimensional models of disordered organic crystals with strong coupling between electronic and vibrational degrees of freedom. By studying the polaron dynamics in a static disorder environment,…
We present a minimal theory of superconductivity enhancement in ferroelectric-type materials. Simple expressions for the optical mode responsible for the soft mode transition are assumed. A key role is played by the anharmonic phonon…
Hafnium dioxide, also known as hafnia, is an extremely sought-after material in opto- and nanoelectronics for creating optical coatings and various functional media to have stable performance characteristics under varying thermal operating…
Electrical resistivity in good metals, particularly noble metals such as gold (Au), silver (Ag), or copper, increases linearly with temperature ($T$) for $T > \Theta_{\mathrm{D}}$, where $\Theta_{\mathrm{D}}$ is the Debye temperature. This…
It has been known for decades that thermal conductivity of insulating crystals becomes proportional to the inverse of temperature when the latter is comparable to or higher than the Debye temperature. This behavior has been understood as…
The low-temperature thermal properties of dielectric crystals are governed by acoustic excitations with large wavelengths that are well described by plane waves. This is the Debye model, which rests on the assumption that the medium is an…
The electron-doped silicene under the influence of the biaxial tensile strain is predicted to be the phonon-mediated superconductor. By using the Eliashberg formalism, we investigate the thermodynamic properties of the superconducting…
Radiation pressure within engineered structures has recently been used to couple the motion of nanomechanical objects with high sensitivity to optical and microwave electromagnetic fields. Here, we demonstrate a form of electromechanical…
Superatomic compounds, composed of atomic clusters interwoven by weak chemical bonds exhibit large anharmonicity vibrations, are excellent candidates for ultralow thermal conductivity (\k{appa}) materials. However, growing bulk superatomic…
The phonon dispersion and the electron-phonon interaction for the $\beta$-Po and the bcc high pressure phases of tellurium are computed with density-functional perturbation theory. Our calculations reproduce and explain the experimentally…
We review a series of experimental studies of the thermodynamics of nonequilibrium processes at the microscale. In particular, in these experiments we studied the fluctuations of the thermodynamic properties of a single optically-trapped…
We analyze the mathematical structure of equations for temperature Tc of the superconductivity transition in a gas of interacting Fermi particles or at the phonon-mediated pairing in a metal in case of non-adiabatic conditions, i. e., when…
Ordered crystalline compounds exhibiting ultralow and glass-like thermal conductivity are both fundamentally and technologically important, where phonon quasi-particles dominate their heat transport. Understanding the microscopic mechanisms…
Palladium hydrides exhibit the largest isotope-effect anomaly in superconductivity: replacing hydrogen with heavier isotopes increases the superconducting critical temperature. Although this behavior is commonly attributed to strong…
Many complex crystals show a flattening or even increasing lattice thermal conductivity at high temperatures, which deviates from the traditional 1/T decay trend given by conventional phonon theory. In this work, we predict the thermal…
