An Electrohydrodynamics Model for Non-equilibrium Electron and Phonon Transport in Metal Films after Ultra-short Pulse Laser Heating
Jun Zhou, Nianbei Li, Ronggui Yang
The electrons and phonons in metal films after ultra-short pulse laser heating are in highly non-equilibrium states not only between the electron sub-system and the phonon sub-syst…
Phonon Transport in Single-Layer Transition Metal Dichalcogenides: a First-Principles Study
Xiaokun Gu, Ronggui Yang
Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are finding promising electronic and optical applications due to their unique properties. In this letter, we systematically…
A new regime of nanoscale thermal transport: collective diffusion counteracts dissipation inefficiency
Kathleen M. Hoogeboom-Pot, Jorge N. Hernandez-Charpak, Erik H. Anderson +5
Understanding thermal transport from nanoscale heat sources is important for a fundamental description of energy flow in materials, as well as for many technological applications i…
Inhomogeneous Thermal Conductivity Enhances Thermoelectric Cooling
Tingyu Lu, Jun Zhou, Nianbei Li +2
We theoretically investigate the enhancement of thermoelectric cooling performance in thermoelectric devices made of materials with inhomogeneous thermal conductivity, beyond the u…
First-Principles Prediction of Phononic Thermal Conductivity of Silicene: a Comparison with Graphene
Xiaokun Gu, Ronggui Yang
There has been great interest in two-dimensional materials, beyond graphene, for both fundamental sciences and technological applications. Silicene, a silicon counterpart of graphe…
