Thermal transport from 1D- and 2D-confined nanostructures on silicon probed using coherent extreme UV light: General and predictive model yields new understanding

Albert Beardo, Joshua L. Knobloch, Lluc Sendra +9

Heat management is crucial in the design of nanoscale devices as the operating temperature determines their efficiency and lifetime. Past experimental and theoretical works explori…

Observation of second sound in a rapidly varying temperature field in Ge

Albert Beardo, Miquel López-Suárez, Luis Alberto Pérez +9

Second sound is known as the thermal transport regime where heat is carried by temperature waves. Its experimental observation was previously restricted to a small number of materi…

Thermal conductivity and phonon hydrodynamics in transition metal dichalcogenides from first-principles

Pol Torres, Francesc Xavier Alvarez, Xavier Cartoixà +1

We carry out a systematic study of the thermal conductivity of four single-layer transition metal dichalcogenides, MX (M = Mo, W; X = S, Se) from first-principles by solving th…

A slip-based model for the size-dependent effective thermal conductivity of nanowires

M. Calvo-Schwarzwälder, M. G. Hennessy, P. Torres +2

The heat flux across a nanowire is computed based on the Guyer-Krumhansl equation. Slip conditions with a slip length depending on both temperature and nanowire radius are introduc…

From kinetic to collective behavior in thermal transport on semiconductors and semiconductor nanostructures

C. de Tomas, A. Cantarero, A. F. Lopeandia +1

We present a model which deepens into the role that normal scattering has on the thermal conductivity in semiconductor bulk, micro and nanoscale samples. Thermal conductivity as a…
