Layered materials have uncommonly anisotropic thermal properties due to their strong in-plane covalent bonds and weak out-of-plane van der Waals interactions. Here we examine heat flow in graphene (graphite), h-BN, MoS2, and WS2 monolayers and bulk films, from diffusive to ballistic limits. We determine the ballistic thermal conductance limit (Gball) both in-plane and out-of-plane, based on full phonon dispersions from first-principles calculations. An overall phonon mean free path ({lambda}) is expressed in terms of Gball and the diffusive thermal conductivity, consistent with kinetic theory if proper averaging of phonon group velocity is used. We obtain a size-dependent thermal conductivity k(L) in agreement with available experiments, and find that k(L) only converges to >90% of the diffusive thermal conductivity for sample sizes L > 16{lambda}, which ranges from ~140 nm for MoS2 cross-plane to ~10 um for suspended graphene in-plane. These results provide a deeper understanding of microscopic thermal transport, revealing that device scales below which thermal size effects should be taken into account are generally larger than previously thought.

Gas permeation through nanoscale pores is ubiquitous in nature and plays an important role in a plethora of technologies. Because the pore size is typically smaller than the mean free path of gas molecules, their flow is conventionally described by t
he Knudsen theory that assumes diffuse reflection (random-angle scattering) at confining walls. This assumption has proven to hold surprisingly well in experiment, and only a few cases of partially specular (mirror-like) reflection are known. Here we report gas transport through angstrom-scale channels with atomically-flat walls and show that surface scattering can be both diffuse or specular, depending on fine details of the surface atomic landscape, and quantum effects contribute to the specularity at room temperature. The channels made from graphene or boron nitride allow a helium gas flow that is orders of magnitude faster than expected from the theory. This is explained by specular surface scattering, which leads to ballistic transport and frictionless gas flow. Similar channels but with molybdenum disulfide walls exhibit much slower permeation that remains well described by Knudsen diffusion. The difference is attributed to stronger atomic corrugations at MoS2 surfaces, which are similar in height to the size of transported atoms and their de Broglie wavelength. The importance of the latter, matter-wave contribution is corroborated by the observation of a reversed isotope effect in which the mass flow of hydrogen is notably higher than that of deuterium, in contrast to the relation expected for classical flows. Our results provide insights into atomistic details of molecular permeation, which so far could be accessed only in simulations, and show a possibility of studying gas transport under a controlled confinement comparable to the quantum-mechanical size of atoms.
In an idealized infinite crystal, the material properties are constrained by the symmetries of its unit cell. Naturally, the point-group symmetry is broken by the sample shape of any finite crystal, yet this is commonly unobservable in macroscopic me
tals. To sense the shape-induced symmetry lowering in such metals, long-lived bulk states originating from anisotropic Fermi surfaces are needed. Here we show how strongly facetted Fermi surfaces and long quasiparticle mean free paths present in microstructures of PdCoO2 yield an in-plane resistivity anisotropy that is forbidden by symmetry on an infinite hexagonal lattice. Bar shaped transport devices narrower than the mean free path are carved from single crystals using focused ion beam (FIB) milling, such that the ballistic charge carriers at low temperatures frequently collide with both sidewalls defining a channel. Two symmetry-forbidden transport signatures appear: the in-plane resistivity anisotropy exceeds a factor of 2, and transverse voltages appear in zero magnetic field. We robustly identify the channel direction as the source of symmetry breaking via ballistic Monte- Carlo simulations and numerical solution of the Boltzmann equation.
In this work, the heat vortexes in two-dimensional porous or ribbon structures are investigated based on the phonon Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) under the Callaway model. First, the separate thermal effects of normal (N) scattering and resistiv
e (R) scattering are investigated with frequency-independent assumptions. And then the heat vortexes in graphene are studied as a specific example. It is found that the heat vortexes can appear in both ballistic (rare R/N scattering) and hydrodynamic (N scattering dominates) regimes but disappear in the diffusive (R scattering dominates) regime. As long as there is not sufficient R scattering, the heat vortexes can appear in present simulations.
We review theoretical and experimental highlights in transport in two-dimensional materials focussing on key developments over the last five years. Topological insulators are finding applications in magnetic devices, while Hall transport in doped sam
ples and the general issue of topological protection remain controversial. In transition metal dichalcogenides valley-dependent electrical and optical phenomena continue to stimulate state-of-the-art experiments. In Weyl semimetals the properties of Fermi arcs are being actively investigated. A new field, expected to grow in the near future, focuses on the non-linear electrical and optical responses of topological materials, where fundamental questions are once more being asked about the intertwining roles of the Berry curvature and disorder scattering. In topological superconductors the quest for chiral superconductivity, Majorana fermions and topological quantum computing is continuing apace.
We study the thermal effects on the frictional properties of atomically thin sheets. We simulate a simple model based on the Prandtl-Tomlinson model that reproduces the layer dependence of friction and strengthening effects seen in AFM experiments. W
e investigate sliding at constant speed as well as reversing direction. We also investigate contact aging: the changes that occur to the contact when the sliding stops completely. We compare the numerical results to analytical calculations based on Kramers rates. We find that there is a slower than exponential contact aging that weakens the contact and that we expect will be observable in experiments. We discuss the implications for sliding as well as aging experiments.
