Self-synchronization of thermal phonons at equilibrium
Zhongwei Zhang, Yangyu Guo, Marc Bescond +3
Self-synchronization is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature, in which oscillators are collectively locked in frequency and phase through mutual interactions. While self-synchronizati…
A generalized decay law for particle- and wave-like thermal phonons
Zhongwei Zhang, Yangyu Guo, Marc Bescond +3
Our direct atomic simulations reveal that a thermally activated phonon mode involves a large population of elastic wavepackets. These excitations are characterized by a wide distri…
Thermal Conductivity of Polymers and Their Nanocomposites
Xiangfan Xu, Jie Chen, Jun Zhou +1
Polymers are usually considered as thermal insulators and their applications are limited by their low thermal conductivity. However, recent studies showed that certain polymers hav…
Thermal Conductivity of Suspended Few-Layer MoS2
Adili Aiyiti, Shiqian Hu, Chengru Wang +11
Modifying phonon thermal conductivity in nanomaterials is important not only for fundamental research but also for practical applications. However, the experiments on tailoring the…
Phonon thermal conduction in novel 2D materials
Xiangfan Xu, Jie Chen, Baowen Li
Recently, there have been increasing interests in phonon thermal transport in low dimensional materials, due to the crucial importance for dissipating and managing heat in micro an…
Substrate Coupling Suppresses Size Dependence of Thermal Conductivity in Supported Graphene
Jie Chen, Gang Zhang, Baowen Li
Thermal conductivity of both suspended and supported graphene has been studied by using molecular dynamics simulations. Obvious length dependence is observed in of suspende…
