Dimensionality Mismatch Enables Decoupled Heat and Charge Transport

Luman Shang, Shuming Zeng, Chenhan Liu +1

Decoupling heat and charge transport is a key challenge in thermoelectrics. Here, we identify a route to spatially separate phonon and carrier transport in quasi-one-dimensional ma…

Rotational Soft Modes and Octahedral Distortion as Design Principles for Ultralow Thermal Conductivity in Halide Materials

Yu Wu, Luman Shang, Yufan Liu +4

We establish that ultralow lattice thermal conductivity in halide perovskites and related octahedral framework materials arises from two distinct and complementary mechanisms: (i)…

Cooperative Suppression Strategy for Dual Thermal Transport Channels in Crystalline Materials

Yu Wu, Ying Chen, Shuming Zeng +4

We propose a novel design principle for achieving ultralow thermal conductivity in crystalline materials via a "heavy-light and soft-stiff" structural motif. By combining heavy and…

Weak Host Interactions Induced Thermal Transport Properties of Metal Halide Perovskites Deviating from the Rattling Model

Yu Wu, Linxuan Ji, Shuming Zeng +2

The low-frequency phonon branches of metal halide perovskites typically exhibit the characteristic of hardening with the increase of the cation mass, which leads to anomalous therm…

When is the Four-phonon Effect in Half-Heusler Materials more Pronounced?

Yu Wu, Shengnan Dai, Linxuan Ji +3

Suppressed three-phonon scattering processes have been considered to be the direct cause of materials exhibiting significant higher-order four-phonon interactions. However, after c…
