Fundamental concepts of thermal phonon coherence
Theodore Maranets, Haoran Cui, Milad Nasiri +2
As scientists seek to transcend traditional material property relationships, novel structures with artificial periodicity, configurational complexity, and disorder are increasingly…
Hydrogen-stabilized multimodal high-index twin network in iron
Mehrab Lotfpour, Haoran Cui, Yan Wang +2
Hydrogen significantly affects plasticity in bcc iron, but its role is commonly attributed to dislocation-mediated mechanisms, leaving the influence of hydrogen on phase transforma…
Anyonic molecules through the trion looking glass
Hao-Ran Cui, Vladimir Calvera, Umang Mehta +1
Motivated by recent optical measurements in twisted MoTe homobilayers, we numerically study the binding of itinerant anyons to ordinary electronic bound states. Using a minimal…
Enhanced Graphene-Water Thermal Transport via Edge Functionalization without Compromising In-Plane Thermal Conductivity
John Crosby, Haoran Cui, Mehrab Lotfpour +2
Interfacial thermal transport between graphene and water plays a critical role in a wide range of thermal and energy applications. Although chemical functionalization can significa…
Stacking-Engineered Thermal Transport and Phonon Filtering in Rhenium Disulfide
Yongjian Zhou, Haoran Cui, Zefang Ye +3
Cross-plane heat transport is a critical bottleneck for van der Waals (vdW) electronics, yet its microscopic governing principles remain elusive. We demonstrate that stacking order…
Significant ballistic thermal transport across graphene layers: effect of nanoholes and lithium intercalation
John Crosby, Haoran Cui, Yan Wang
Porous graphene and graphite are increasingly utilized in electrochemical energy storage and solar-thermal applications due to their unique structural and thermal properties. In th…
Spectral heat flux redistribution upon interfacial transmission
Haoran Cui, Theodore Maranets, Tengfei Ma +1
In nonmetallic crystals, heat is transported by phonons of different frequencies, each contributing differently to the overall heat flux spectrum. In this study, we demonstrate a s…
Significantly Enhanced Interfacial Thermal Transport between Single-layer Graphene and Water Through Basal-plane Oxidation
Haoran Cui, Iyyappa Rajan Panneerselvam, Pranay Chakraborty +3
Heat transfer between graphene and water is pivotal for various applications, including solarthermal vapor generation and the advanced manufacturing of graphene-based hierarchical…
