Observation of second sound in graphite at temperatures above 100 K
Samuel Huberman, Ryan A. Duncan, Ke Chen +6
Wavelike thermal transport in solids, referred to as second sound, has until now been an exotic phenomenon limited to a handful of materials at low temperatures. This has restricte…
Phonon Hydrodynamic Heat Conduction and Knudsen Minimum in Graphite
Zhiwei Ding, Jiawei Zhou, Bai Song +4
In the hydrodynamic regime, phonons drift with a nonzero collective velocity under a temperature gradient, reminiscent of viscous gas and fluid flow. The study of hydrodynamic phon…
Green's Functions of the Boltzmann Transport Equation with the Full Scattering Matrix for Phonon Nanoscale Transport beyond the Relaxation Time Approximation
Vazrik Chiloyan, Samuel Huberman, Zhiwei Ding +4
The phonon Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) has been widely utilized to study thermal transport in solids. While for a number of materials the exact solution to the BTE has been…
Nondiffusive thermal transport from micro/nanoscale sources producing nonthermal phonon populations exceeds Fourier heat conduction
Vazrik Chiloyan, Samuel Huberman, Alexei A. Maznev +2
We study nondiffusive thermal transport by phonons at small distances within the framework of the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) and demonstrate that the transport is significa…

Samuel Huberman, Vazrik Chiloyan, Ryan A. Duncan +6
In this work, we demonstrate the correspondence between first principle calculations and experimental measurements of size effects on thermal transport in SiGe alloys. Transient th…
Variational Approach to Solving the Spectral Boltzmann Transport Equation in Transient Thermal Grating for Thin Films
Vazrik Chiloyan, Lingping Zeng, Samuel Huberman +3
The phonon Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) is widely utilized to study non-diffusive thermal transport. We find a solution of the BTE in the thin film transient thermal grating…
Enhancement and tunability of near-field radiative heat transfer mediated by surface plasmon polaritons in thin plasmonic films
Svetlana V. Boriskina, Jonathan K. Tong, Yi Huang +3
The properties of thermal radiation exchange between hot and cold objects can be strongly modified if they interact in the near field where electromagnetic coupling occurs across g…
Heat meets light on the nanoscale
Svetlana V. Boriskina, Jonathan K. Tong, Wei-Chun Hsu +4
We discuss the state-of-the-art and remaining challenges in the fundamental understanding and technology development for controlling light-matter interactions in nanophotonic envir…
Monte Carlo Study of Non-diffusive Relaxation of A Transient Thermal Grating in Thin Membranes
Lingping Zeng, Vazrik Chiloyan, Samuel Huberman +5
The impact of boundary scattering on non-diffusive thermal relaxation of a transient grating in thin membranes is rigorously analyzed using the multidimensional phonon Boltzmann eq…
A Variational Approach to Extracting the Phonon Mean Free Path Distribution from the Spectral Boltzmann Transport Equation
Vazrik Chiloyan, Lingping Zeng, Samuel Huberman +3
The phonon Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) is a powerful tool for studying non-diffusive thermal transport. Here, we develop a new universal variational approach to solving the…
No energy transport without discord
Seth Lloyd, Zi-Wen Liu, Stefano Pirandola +4
We show that without quantum correlations, energy cannot flow. The result follows from a simple theorem that shows that systems whose dynamics do not generate quantum discord are e…
