The reduced dimensionality makes low-dimensional nanomaterials possessing diverse
unusual size-dependent transport properties, due to the distinct quantum confinement …

Following the emergence of many novel two-dimensional (2D) materials beyond graphene,
interest has grown in exploring implications for fundamental physics and practical …

Deriving macroscopic phenomenological laws of irreversible thermodynamics from simple
microscopic models is one of the tasks of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. We consider …

By coupling two nonlinear one dimensional lattices, we demonstrate a thermal diode model
that works in a wide range of system parameters. We provide numerical and analytical …

Recent results on theoretical studies of heat conduction in low-dimensional systems are
presented. These studies are on simple, yet non-trivial, models. Most of these are classical …

Herein, we describe the design features that lead to thermally conductive polymers. Though
polymers are conventionally assumed to be thermal insulators (< 0.3 W m-1 K-1), significant …

These lecture notes give a short review of methods such as the matrix ansatz, the additivity
principle or the macroscopic fluctuation theory, developed recently in the theory of non …

We address the problem of heat conduction in 1D nonlinear chains; we show that, acting on
the parameter which controls the strength of the on-site potential inside a segment of the …

Applying stress/strain on a material provides a mechanism to tune the thermal conductivity of
materials dynamically or on demand. Experimental and simulation results have shown that …

We use molecular dynamics simulations to calculate the thermal conductivity of single
polyethylene chains employing both the Green-Kubo approach and a modal decomposition …
