Effects of high order interatomic potential on elastic phonon scatterings
Hangbo Zhou, Gang Zhang, Yong-Wei Zhang
Interatomic potentials beyond quadratic order provide scattering sources for phonon transport in lattice. By using a weakly-interacting interface model, we investigated the relatio…
Anharmonic quantum thermal transport across a van der Waals interface
Hangbo Zhou, Gang Zhang, Jian-Sheng Wang +1
We investigate the anharmonic phonon scattering across a weakly interacting interface by developing a quantum mechanics-based theory. We find that the contribution from anharmonic…
Three-terminal interface as a thermoelectric generator beyond Seebeck effect
Hangbo Zhou, Gang Zhang, Jian-Sheng Wang +1
We investigate thermoelectric transport through interfaces with inelastic scatterings by developing a quantum theory, which has been extensively validated by existing theories. We…
Superior lattice thermal conductance of single layer borophene
Hangbo Zhou, Yongqing Cai, Gang Zhang +1
By way of the nonequilibrium Green's function simulations and first principles calculations, we report that borophene, a single layer of boron atoms that was fabricated recently, p…
