Lattice thermal conductivity strongly affects the applications of materials related to thermal functionality, such as thermal management, thermal barrier coatings and thermoelectrics. In order to ...

Phonons – the quasiparticle describing lattice vibrations in solids – directly dictates various properties of solid state systems, such as the thermal conductivity, electron mobility, structural ...

Surface plasmon polaritons and surface phonon polaritons, thanks to their high spatial confinement, present new opportunities to enhance light-matter interaction in 2D materials. Furthermore, they are ...
