Materials with ultrahigh or low thermal conductivity are desirable for many technological
applications, such as thermal management of electronic and photonic devices, heat …

This article reviews the theory of electron-phonon interactions in solids from the point of view
of ab initio calculations. While the electron-phonon interaction has been studied for almost a …

This article reviews the current status of lattice-dynamical calculations in crystals, using
density-functional perturbation theory, with emphasis on the plane-wave pseudopotential …

The excitation of surface-phonon-polariton (SPhP) modes in polar dielectric crystals and the
associated new developments in the field of SPhPs are reviewed. The emphasis of this work …

This fully updated second edition of The Physics of Phonons remains the most
comprehensive theoretical discussion devoted to the study of phonons, a major area of …

The changes in density, wave functions, and self-consistent potentials of solids, in response
to small atomic displacements or infinitesimal homogeneous electric fields, are considered …

We characterize the thermal conductivity of graphite, monolayer graphene, graphane,
fluorographane, and bilayer graphene, solving exactly the Boltzmann transport equation for …

The conduction of heat in two dimensions displays a wealth of fascinating phenomena of
key relevance to the scientific understanding and technological applications of graphene …

We present an ab initio theoretical approach to accurately describe phonon thermal
transport in semiconductors and insulators free of adjustable parameters. This technique …

Conventional optical components are limited to size scales much larger than the wavelength
of light, as changes to the amplitude, phase and polarization of the electromagnetic fields …
