Towards intrinsic phonon transport in single-layer MoS${}_2$

Abstract

The intrinsic lattice thermal conductivity of MoS${}_2$ is an important aspect in the design of MoS${}_2$-based nanoelectronic devices. We investigate the lattice dynamics properties of MoS${}_2$ by first principles calculations. The intrinsic thermal conductivity of single-layer MoS${}_2$ is calculated using the Boltzmann transport equation for phonons. The obtained thermal conductivity agrees well with the measurements. The contributions of acoustic and optical phonons to the lattice thermal conductivity are evaluated. The size dependence of thermal conductivity is investigated as well.
