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, Kr and Kz,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 Kzand 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.
