Thermal transport at the nanoscale level is attracting attention not only because of its
physically interesting features such as the peculiar behavior of phonons due to their …

The concept of coherence is one of the fundamental phenomena in electronics and optics. In
addition to electron and photon, phonon is another important energy and information carrier …

Phonons can display both wave-like and particle-like behaviour during thermal transport.
While thermal transport in silicon nanomeshes has been previously interpreted by phonon …

We investigate the impact of various phonon-scattering mechanisms on the in-plane thermal
conductivity of suspended silicon thin films with two-dimensional periodic arrays of holes, ie …

We demonstrate the power enhancement of planar-type uni-leg poly-Si thermoelectric
generators by nano-patterning. The thermoelectric generators were fabricated on an SOI …

Scalable synthetic strategies for high-quality and reproducible thermoelectric (TE) materials
is an essential step for advancing the TE technology. We present here very rapid and …

In search of efficient thermoelectric nanostructures, many theoretical works predicted that
nanopillars, placed on the surface of silicon membranes, nanobeams, or nanowires, can …

We report the electronic band structure and interlayer coupling induced phonon-glass–
electron-crystal behavior in the van der Waals heterostructure PtSe2/γ-GeSe. The …

The thermal conductivities of silicon thin films with periodic pore arrays (ie, nanoporous
films) and square silicon nanowires are predicted at a temperature of 300 K. The bulk …
