Isotope effect on the Casimir force
Lanyi Xie, Fuwei Yang, Bai Song
Isotopic dependence of the Casimir force is key to probing new physics and pushing novel technologies at the micro and nanoscale, but is largely unexplored. In 2002, an isotope eff…
Isotope effect on radiative thermal transport
Lanyi Xie, Bai Song
Isotope effects on heat conduction and convection have been known for decades. However, whether thermal radiation can be isotopically engineered remains an open question. Here, we…
Fundamental limit to the rectification of near-field heat flow: The potential of intrinsic semiconductor films
Qizhang Li, Qun Chen, Bai Song
We derive the fundamental limit to near-field radiative thermal rectification mediated by an intrinsic semiconductor film within the framework of fluctuational electrodynamics. By…
Strong suppression of near-field thermal transport between twisted bilayer graphene near the magic angle
Fuwei Yang, Bai Song
Twisted bilayer graphene (TBLG) has recently emerged as a versatile platform for studying a variety of exotic transport phenomena. Here, we present a theoretical study of near-fiel…
Giant radiative thermal rectification using an intrinsic semiconductor film
Qizhang Li, Qun Chen, Bai Song
Rectification of heat flow via a thermal diode is not only of fundamental interest, but can also enable a range of novel applications in thermal management and energy conversion. H…
Radiative thermal diode via hyperbolic metamaterials
Qizhang Li, Haiyu He, Qun Chen +1
Hyperbolic metamaterials (HMMs) support propagating waves with arbitrarily large wavevectors over broad spectral ranges, and are uniquely valuable for engineering radiative thermal…
Thin-film radiative thermal diode with large rectification
Qizhang Li, Haiyu He, Qun Chen +1
We propose a mechanism to substantially rectify radiative heat flow by matching thin films of metal-to-insulator transition materials and polar dielectrics in the electromagnetic n…
Optical properties of cubic boron arsenide
Bai Song, Ke Chen, Kyle Bushick +6
The ultrahigh thermal conductivity of boron arsenide makes it a promising material for next-generation electronics and optoelectronics. In this work, we report measured optical pro…
Observation of second sound in graphite at temperatures above 100 K
Samuel Huberman, Ryan A. Duncan, Ke Chen +6
Wavelike thermal transport in solids, referred to as second sound, has until now been an exotic phenomenon limited to a handful of materials at low temperatures. This has restricte…
Simultaneously high electron and hole mobilities in cubic boron-V compounds: BP, BAs and BSb
Te-Huan Liu, Bai Song, Laureen Meroueh +5
Through first-principles calculations, the phonon-limited transport properties of cubic boron-V compounds (BP, BAs and BSb) are studied. We find that the high optical phonon freque…
Phonon Hydrodynamic Heat Conduction and Knudsen Minimum in Graphite
Zhiwei Ding, Jiawei Zhou, Bai Song +4
In the hydrodynamic regime, phonons drift with a nonzero collective velocity under a temperature gradient, reminiscent of viscous gas and fluid flow. The study of hydrodynamic phon…
Nanostructured Polymer Films with Metal-like Thermal Conductivity
Yanfei Xu, Daniel Kraemer, Bai Song +9
Thermally conductive polymers are of fundamental interest and can also be exploited in thermal management applications. Recent studies have shown stretched polymers can achieve hig…
