We study nondiffusive thermal transport by phonons at small distances within the framework of the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) and demonstrate that the transport is significantly affected by the distribution of phonons emitted by the source. We discuss analytical solutions of the steady-state BTE for a source with a sinusoidal spatial profile, as well as for a three- dimensional Gaussian hot spot, and provide numerical results for single crystal silicon at room temperature. If a micro/nanoscale heat source produces a thermal phonon distribution, it gets hotter than predicted by the heat diffusion equation; however, if the source predominantly produces low-frequency acoustic phonons with long mean free paths, it may get significantly cooler than predicted by the heat equation, yielding an enhanced heat transport.

Macroscopic quantum phase coherence has one of its pivotal expressions in the Josephson effect [1], which manifests itself both in charge [2] and energy transport [3-5]. The ability to master the amount of heat transferred through two tunnel-coupled superconductors by tuning their phase difference is the core of coherent caloritronics [4-6], and is expected to be a key tool in a number of nanoscience fields, including solid state cooling [7], thermal isolation [8, 9], radiation detection [7], quantum information [10, 11] and thermal logic [12]. Here we show the realization of the first balanced Josephson heat modulator [13] designed to offer full control at the nanoscale over the phase-coherent component of thermal currents. Our device provides magnetic-flux-dependent temperature modulations up to 40 mK in amplitude with a maximum of the flux-to-temperature transfer coefficient reaching 200 mK per flux quantum at a bath temperature of 25 mK. Foremost, it demonstrates the exact correspondence in the phase-engineering of charge and heat currents, breaking ground for advanced caloritronic nanodevices such as thermal splitters [14], heat pumps [15] and time-dependent electronic engines [16-19].

Recently, there have been increasing interests in phonon thermal transport in low dimensional materials, due to the crucial importance for dissipating and managing heat in micro and nano electronic devices. Significant progresses have been achieved f or one-dimensional (1D) systems both theoretically and experimentally. However, the study of heat conduction in two-dimensional (2D) systems is still in its infancy due to the limited availability of 2D materials and the technical challenges in fabricating suspended samples suitable for thermal measurements. In this review, we outline different experimental techniques and theoretical approaches for phonon thermal transport in 2D materials, discuss the problems and challenges in phonon thermal transport measurements and provide comparison between existing experimental data. Special focus will be given to the effects of the size, dimensionality, anisotropy and mode contributions in the novel 2D systems including graphene, boron nitride, MoS2, black phosphorous, silicene etc.

Previous studies have predicted the failure of Fouriers law of thermal conduction due to the existence of wave like propagation of heat with finite propagation speed. This non-Fourier thermal transport phenomenon can appear in both the hydrodynamic a nd (quasi) ballistic regimes. Hence, it is not easy to clearly distinguish these two non-Fourier regimes only by this phenomenon. In this work, the transient heat propagation in homogeneous thermal system is studied based on the phonon Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) under the Callaway model. Given a quasi-one or quasi-two (three) dimensional simulation with homogeneous environment temperature, at initial moment, a heat source is added suddenly at the center with high temperature, then the heat propagates from the center to the outer. Numerical results show that in quasi-two (three) dimensional simulations, the transient temperature will be lower than the lowest value of initial temperature in the hydrodynamic regime within a certain range of time and space. This phenomenon appears only when the normal scattering dominates heat conduction. Besides, it disappears in quasi-one dimensional simulations. Similar phenomenon is also observed in thermal systems with time varying heat source. This novel transient heat propagation phenomenon of hydrodynamic phonon transport distinguishes it well from (quasi) ballistic phonon transport.
Despite the ubiquity of applications of heat transport across nanoscale interfaces, including integrated circuits, thermoelectrics, and nanotheranostics, an accurate description of phonon transport in these systems remains elusive. Here we present a theoretical and computational framework to describe phonon transport with position, momentum and scattering event resolution. We apply this framework to a single material spherical nanoparticle for which the multidimensional resolution offers insight into the physical origin of phonon thermalization, and length-scale dependent anisotropy of steady-state phonon distributions. We extend the formalism to handle interfaces explicitly and investigate the specific case of semi-coherent materials interfaces by computing the coupling between phonons and interfacial strain resulting from aperiodic array of misfit dislocations. Our framework quantitatively describes the thermal interface resistance within the technologically relevant Si-Ge heterostructures. In future, this formalism could provide new insight into coherent and driven phonon effects in nanoscale materials increasingly accessible via ultrafast, THz and near-field spectroscopies.
Surface phonon-polaritons can carry energy on the surface of dielectric films and thus are expected to contribute to heat conduction. However, the contribution of surface phonon-polaritons (SPhPs) to thermal transport has not been experimentally demo nstrated yet. In this work, we experimentally measure the effective in-plane thermal conductivity of amorphous silicon nitride membrane and show that it can indeed be increased by SPhPs significantly when the membrane thickness scales down. In particular, by heating up a thin membrane (<100 nm) from 300 to 800 K, the thermal conductivity increases twice due to SPhPs contribution.
