报告摘要：

Two-dimensional (2-D) materials, such as graphene, black phosphorus and transition metal dichalcogenides, have attracted increased interest due to their potential applications in electronic, optoelectronic, and energy systems. Understanding the phononic thermal properties in 2-D materials could be very important for the design of novel devices using 2-D materials.

In the first part of this talk, the first-principles based Boltzmann transport equation 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 crystal structure and atomic masses. Using the same approach, we also study the layer thickness-dependence of thermal conductivity of MoS₂. Unlike conventional thin film materials, whose thermal conductivity is usually suppressed when the thickness decreases due to phonon-boundary scattering, the thermal conductivity of MoS₂ decreases when increasing its thickness. It appears that both the phonon dispersion and the anharmonicity changes with the thickness of MoS₂.

In the second part of this talk, a variable spot size time-domain thermoreflectance (TDTR) approach is developed to systematically measure both the 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 observed frequency dependence in both the through-plane thermal conductivity K_z and the Al/TMD interface thermal conductance G for all these TMD compounds, which we attributed to the non-equilibrium thermal resistance between different groups of phonons in the substrate during the TDTR experiments.
