Low lattice thermal conductivity of stanene
A fundamental understanding of phonon transport in stanene is crucial to predict the thermal performance in potential stanene-based devices. By combining first-principle calculation and phonon Boltzmann transport equation, we obtain the lattice thermal conductivity of stanene. A much lower thermal conductivity (11.6 W/mK) is observed in stanene, which indicates higher thermoelectric efficiency ...
متن کاملUmklapp scattering at reconstructed quantum-Hall edges
We study the low-lying excitations of a quantum-Hall sample that has undergone edge reconstruction such that there exist three branches of chiral edge excitations. Among the interaction processes that involve electrons close to the three Fermi points is a new type of Umklapp-scattering process which has not been discussed before. Using bosonization and a refermionization technique, we obtain ex...

متن کاملIn-plane lattice thermal conductivity of a quantum-dot superlattice
We have theoretically investigated the in-plane lattice thermal conductivity of a quantum-dot superlattice. The calculations were carried out for a structure that consists of multiple layers of Si with randomly distributed Ge quantum dots separated by wetting layers and spacers. Our model takes into account scattering of acoustic phonons on spherical quantum dots, and corresponding modification...
