In this paper we solve the Cattaneo-Vernotte Equation for a periodic heterostructure made of alternate layers of different materials. The solutions describe thermal waves traveling in a periodic system, and it allows us to introduce the concept of thermal crystals. We show that the dispersion relation shows the characteristics of a band-structure, however the corresponding Bloch wave vector is always complex corresponding to pseudo-bands, unlike what happens in photonic or acoustic crystals. In this context, we also discuss the use of the Floquet-Bloch theorem for thermal waves. The case of finite layered structures is also analyzed showing the possibility of changing the temperature and heat flux by introducing defects opening the possibility of thermal management through the pseudo-band structure.

Self-affine morphology of random interfaces governs their functionalities across tribological, geological, (opto-)electrical and biological applications. However, the knowledge of how energy carriers or generally classical/quantum waves interact with
structural irregularity is still incomplete. In this work, we study vibrational energy transport through random interfaces exhibiting different correlation functions on the two-dimensional hexagonal lattice. We show that random interfaces at the atomic scale are Cantor composites populated on geometrical fractals, thus multifractals, and calculate their quantized conductance using atomistic approaches. We obtain a universal scaling law, which contains self-similarity for mass perturbation, and exponential scaling of structural irregularity quantified by fractal dimension. The multifractal nature and Cantor-composite picture may also be extendable to charge and photon transport across random interfaces.
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.
We investigated theoretically the phonon thermal conductivity of single layer graphene. The phonon dispersion for all polarizations and crystallographic directions in graphene lattice was obtained using the valence-force field method. The three-phono
n Umklapp processes were treated exactly using an accurate phonon dispersion and Brillouin zone, and accouting for all phonon relaxation channels allowed by the momentum and energy conservation laws. The uniqueness of graphene was reflected in the two-dimensional phonon density of states and restrictions on the phonon Umklapp scattering phase-space. The phonon scattering on defects and graphene edges has been also included in the model. The calculations were performed for the Gruneisen parameter, which was determined from the ab initio theory as a function of the phonon wave vector and polarization branch, and for a range of values from experiments. It was found that the near room-temperature thermal conductivity of single layer graphene, calculated with a realistic Gruneisen parameter, is in the range ~ 2000 - 5000 W/mK depending on the defect concentration and roughness of the edges. Owing to the long phonon mean free path the graphene edges produce strong effect on thermal conductivity even at room temperature. The obtained results are in good agreement with the recent measurements of the thermal conductivity of suspended graphene.
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.
Kramers degeneracy theorem underpins many interesting effects in quantum systems with time-reversal symmetry. We show that the generator of dynamics for Markovian open fermionic systems can exhibit an analogous degeneracy, protected by a combination
of time-reversal symmetry and the microreversibility property of systems at thermal equilibrium - the degeneracy is lifted if either condition is not met. We provide simple examples of this phenomenon and show that the degeneracy is reflected in the standard Greens functions. Furthermore, we show that certain experimental signatures of topological edge modes in open many-body systems can be protected by microreversibility in the same way. Our results suggest that time-reversal symmetry of the system-bath Hamiltonian can affect open system dynamics only if the bath is in thermal equilibrium.
