Giant electrophononic response in PbTiO by strain engineering
Pol Torres, Jorge Íñiguez, Riccardo Rurali
We demonstrate theoretically how, by imposing epitaxial strain in a ferroelectric perovskite, it is possible to achieve a dynamical control of phonon propagation by means of extern…
Thermal conductivity and phonon hydrodynamics in transition metal dichalcogenides from first-principles
Pol Torres, Francesc Xavier Alvarez, Xavier Cartoixà +1
We carry out a systematic study of the thermal conductivity of four single-layer transition metal dichalcogenides, MX (M = Mo, W; X = S, Se) from first-principles by solving th…
Effective thermal conductivity of rectangular nanowires based on phonon hydrodynamics
Marc Calvo-Schwarzwälder, Matthew G. Hennessy, Pol Torres +2
A mathematical model is presented for thermal transport in nanowires with rectangular cross sections. Expressions for the effective thermal conductivity of the nanowire across a ra…
