Thermal transport properties at the metal/MoS2 interfaces are analyzed by using an atomistic phonon transport model based on the Landauer formalism and first-principles calculations. The considered structures include chemisorbed Sc(0001)/MoS2 and Ru(0001)/MoS2, physisorbed Au(111)/MoS2, as well as Pd(111)/MoS2 with intermediate characteristics. Calculated results illustrate a distinctive dependence of thermal transfer on the details of interfacial microstructures. More specifically, the chemisorbed case with a stronger bonding exhibits a generally smaller interfacial thermal resistance than the physisorbed. Comparison between metal/MoS2 and metal/graphene systems suggests that metal/MoS2 is significantly more resistive. Further examination of lattice dynamics identifies the presence of multiple distinct atomic planes and bonding patterns at the interface as the key origin of the observed large thermal resistance.

In this work, we use a combination of first-principles calculations under the density functional theory framework and heat transport simulations using the atomistic Greens function (AGF) method to quantitatively predict the contribution of the differ
ent scattering mechanisms to the thermal interface conductance of epitaxial CoSi$_2$-Si interfaces. An important development in the present work is the direct computation of interfacial bonding from density functional perturbation theory (DFPT) and hence the avoidance of commonly used `mixing rules to obtain the cross-interface force constants from bulk material force constants. Another important algorithmic development is the integration of the recursive Greens function (RGF) method with B{u}ttiker probe scattering that enables computationally efficient simulations of inelastic phonon scattering and its contribution to the thermal interface conductance. First-principles calculations of electron-phonon coupling reveal that cross-interface energy transfer between metal electrons and atomic vibrations in the semiconductor is mediated by delocalized acoustic phonon modes that extend on both sides of the interface, and phonon modes that are localized inside the semiconductor region of the interface exhibit negligible coupling with electrons in the metal. We also provide a direct comparison between simulation predictions and experimental measurements of thermal interface conductance of epitaxial CoSi$_2$-Si interfaces using the time-domain thermoreflectance technique. Importantly, the experimental results, performed across a wide temperature range, only agree well with predictions that include all transport processes: elastic and inelastic phonon scattering, electron-phonon coupling in the metal, and electron-phonon coupling across the interface.
Layering two-dimensional van der Waals materials provides unprecedented control over atomic placement, which could enable tailoring of vibrational spectra and heat flow at the sub-nanometer scale. Here, using spatially-resolved ultrafast thermoreflec
tance and spectroscopy, we uncover the design rules governing cross-plane heat transport in superlattices assembled from monolayers of graphene (G) and MoS2 (M). Using a combinatorial experimental approach, we probe nine different stacking sequences: G, GG, MG, GGG, GMG, GGMG, GMGG, GMMG, GMGMG and identify the effects of vibrational mismatch, interlayer adhesion, and junction asymmetry on thermal transport. Pure G sequences display signatures of quasi-ballistic transport, whereas adding even a single M layer strongly disrupts heat conduction. The experimental data are described well by molecular dynamics simulations which include thermal expansion, accounting for the effect of finite temperature on the interlayer spacing. The simulations show that a change of only 1.5% in the layer separation can lead to a nearly 100% increase of the thermal resistance. Using these design rules, we experimentally demonstrate a 5-layer GMGMG superlattice with an ultralow effective cross-plane thermal conductivity comparable to air, paving the way for a new class of thermal metamaterials with extreme properties.
We present a theoretical study using density functional calculations of the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of 3d transition metal, noble metal and Zn atoms interacting with carbon monovacancies in graphene. We pay special attention to
the electronic and magnetic properties of these substitutional impurities and found that they can be fully understood using a simple model based on the hybridization between the states of the metal atom, particularly the d shell, and the defect levels associated with an unreconstructed D3h carbon vacancy. We identify three different regimes associated with the occupation of different carbon-metal hybridized electronic levels: (i) bonding states are completely filled for Sc and Ti, and these impurities are non-magnetic; (ii) the non-bonding d shell is partially occupied for V, Cr and Mn and, correspondingly, these impurties present large and localized spin moments; (iii) antibonding states with increasing carbon character are progressively filled for Co, Ni, the noble metals and Zn. The spin moments of these impurities oscillate between 0 and 1 Bohr magnetons and are increasingly delocalized. The substitutional Zn suffers a Jahn-Teller-like distortion from the C3v symmetry and, as a consequence, has a zero spin moment. Fe occupies a distinct position at the border between regimes (ii) and (iii) and shows a more complex behavior: while is non-magnetic at the level of GGA calculations, its spin moment can be switched on using GGA+U calculations with moderate values of the U parameter.
In recent years, nanostructuring of dielectric and semiconducting crystals has enhanced controllability of their thermal conductivity. To carry out computational material search for nanostructured materials with desirable thermal conductivity, a key
property is the thermal conductivity spectrum of the original single crystal, which determines the appropriate length scale of nanostructures and mutual adaptability of different kinds of nanostructures. Although the first-principles phonon transport calculations have become accessible, the anharmonic lattice dynamics calculations are still heavy to scan many materials. To this end, we have developed an empirical model that describes the thermal conductivity spectrum in terms only of harmonic phonon properties and bulk thermal conductivity. The model was tested for several crystals with different structures and thermal conductivities, and was confirmed to reproduce the overall profiles of thermal conductivity spectra and their anharmonic calculations.
First-principles calculations within density functional theory (DFT) have been carried out to investigate the adsorption of various gas molecules including CO, CO2, NH3, NO and NO2 on MoS2 monolayer in order to fully exploit the gas sensing capabilit
ies of MoS2. By including van der Waals (vdW) interactions between gas molecules and MoS2, we find that only NO and NO2 can bind strongly to MoS2 sheet with large adsorption energies, which is in line with experimental observations. The charge transfer and the variation of electronic structures are discussed in view of the density of states and molecular orbitals of the gas molecules. Our results thus provide a theoretical basis for the potential applications of MoS2 monolayer in gas sensing and give an explanation for recent experimental findings.
