The poor performance of lithium-ion batteries in extreme temperatures is hindering their
wider adoption in the energy sector. A fundamental challenge in battery thermal …

In this work we demonstrate thermal rectification at the nanoscale between doped Si and
VO2 surfaces. Specifically, we show that the metal–insulator transition of VO2 makes it …

Phase transitions can occur in certain materials such as transition metal oxides (TMOs) and
chalcogenides when there is a change in external conditions such as temperature and …

We demonstrate that a thermal transistor can be made up with a quantum system of three
interacting subsystems, coupled to a thermal reservoir each. This thermal transistor is …
