A Ubiquitous Thermal Conductivity Formula for Liquids, Polymer Glass, and Amorphous Solids

Qing Xi, Jinxin Zhong, Jixiong He +6

The microscopic mechanism of thermal transport in liquids and amorphous solids has been an outstanding problem for a long time. There have been several different approaches to expl…

A Thermal Resistance Network Model for Heat Conduction of Amorphous Polymers

Jun Zhou, Qing Xi, Jixiong He +4

Thermal conductivities (TCs) of the vast majority of amorphous polymers are in a very narrow range, 0.1 0.5 WmK, although single polymer chains possess TC of o…

Off-center Rattling Triggers High-Temperature Thermal Transport in Thermoelectric lathrates: Non-Perturbative Approach

Qing Xi, Zhongwei Zhang, Tsuneyoshi Nakayama +3

Lattice thermal conductivities of type-I clathrates encapsulating "off-center" guest atoms behave in a way that is sharply different from those of conventional crystals…

Dimensional crossover of heat conduction in amorphous Polyimide nanofibers

Lan Dong, Qing Xi, Dongsheng Chen +7

The mechanism of thermal conductivity in amorphous polymers, especially polymer fibers, is unclear in comparison with that in inorganic materials. Here, we report the observation o…

Hopping Processes Explain T-linear Rise of Thermal Conductivity in Thermoelectric Clathrates above the Plateau

Qing Xi, Zhongwei Zhang, Jie Chen +3

Type-I clathrate compounds with off-center guest ions realize the phonon-glass electron-crystal concept by exhibiting almost identical lattice thermal conductivities to…

Spin-dependent Seebeck Effect in Aharonov-Bohm Rings with Rashba and Dresselhaus Spin-orbit Interactions

Bin Liu, Yunyun Li, Jun Zhou +2

We theoretically investigate the spin-dependent Seebeck effect in an Aharonov-Bohm mesoscopic ring in the presence of both Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interactions under magn…
