报告摘要:

Two-dimensional(2-D) materials, such as graphene, black phosphorus and transition metaldichalcogenides, have attracted increased interest due to their potentialapplications in electronic, optoelectronic, and energy systems. Understandingthe phononic thermal properties in 2-D materials could be very important forthe design of novel devices using 2-D materials.

Inthe first part of this talk, the first-principles based Boltzmann transportequation approach is developed to predict a series of novel 2-D materials,including silicene and single-layer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs).Their thermal conductivities are found to be highly correlated to their crystalstructure and atomic masses. Using the same approach, we also study the layerthickness-dependence of thermal conductivity of MoS₂. Unlike conventionalthin film materials, whose thermal conductivity is usually suppressed when thethickness decreases due to phonon-boundary scattering, the thermal conductivityof MoS₂ decreases when increasing its thickness. It appears thatboth the phonon dispersion and the anharmonicity changes with the thickness ofMoS₂.

Inthe second part of this talk, a variable spot size time-domainthermoreflectance (TDTR) approach is developed to systematically measure boththe basal plane and cross plane thermal conductivity, K_r and K_z,of four TMD crystals, MoS₂, MoSe₂, WS₂ and WSe₂,over a wide range of temperature at 80 – 300 K. We consistently observedfrequency dependence in both the through-plane thermal conductivity K_zand the Al/TMD interface thermal conductance G for all these TMDcompounds, which we attributed to the non-equilibrium thermal resistancebetween different groups of phonons in the substrate during the TDTRexperiments.
