The form of energy termed heat that typically derives from lattice vibrations, ie, phonons, is
usually considered as waste energy and, moreover, deleterious to information processing …

Thermal rectification is a phenomenon in which thermal transport along a specific axis is
dependent upon the sign of the temperature gradient or heat current. This phenomenon …

Magnon-phonon scattering (MPS) has attracted widespread attention in quantum heat/spin
transport across the ferromagnetic/nonmagnetic (F/N) interfaces, with the rapid progress of …

We propose an ab initio Boltzmann transport approach taking into account magnon-phonon
scattering (MPS) and three-phonon scattering simultaneously to accurately evaluate the …

The discovery of topological quantum states marks a new chapter in both condensed matter
physics and materials sciences. By analogy to spin electronic system, topological concepts …

This review deals with the nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) method applied to the
problems of energy transport due to atomic vibrations (phonons), primarily for small junction …

Phonons are the quantum mechanical descriptions of vibrational modes that manifest
themselves in many physical properties of condensed matter systems. As the size of …

We present a comprehensive and systematic study of thermal rectification in a prototypical
low-dimensional quantum system—a nonlinear resonator: we identify necessary conditions …

We investigate the heat transport properties of a three-level system coupled to three thermal
baths, assuming a model based on superconducting circuit implementations. The system …

In the quest for the origin of the different thermal rectifying behavior of two graded
nanowires, we reveal the important role that standing waves play in the thermal transport …
