In two-dimensional materials, structure difference induces the difference in phonon dispersions, leading to the anisotropy of in-plane thermal transport. Here, we report an exceptional case in layered PdSe2, where the bonding, force constants, and lattice constants are nearly-equal along the in-plane crystallographic axis directions. The phonon dispersions show significant differences between the Gamma-X and Gamma-Y directions, leading to the anisotropy of in-plane thermal conductivity with a ratio up to 1.8. Such anisotropy is not only unexpected in equilaterally structured (in-plane) materials but also comparable to the record in the non-equilaterally structured material reported to date. By combining inelastic X-ray scattering and first-principles calculations, we attribute such anisotropy to the low-energy phonons along Gamma-X, in particular, their lower group velocities and avoided-crossing behavior. The different bucking structures between a- (zigzag-type) and b-axis (flat-type) are mainly responsible for the unique phonon dynamics properties of PdSe2. The present results illustrate the unusual thermal conduction mechanism of the equilaterally structured materials and provide valuable insights on thermal management in electronic devices.
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
We have investigated the anisotropic thermal expansion of graphite using ab-initio calculation of lattice dynamics and anharmonicity of the phonons, which reveal that the negative thermal expansion (NTE) in the a-b plane below 600 K and very large po
We study heat conduction in one dimensional (1D) anharmonic lattices analytically and numerically by using an effective phonon theory. It is found that every effective phonon mode oscillates quasi-periodically. By weighting the power spectrum of the
Understanding microscopic heat conduction in thin films is important for nano/micro heat transfer and thermal management for advanced electronics. As the thickness of thin films is comparable to or shorter than a phonon wavelength, phonon dispersion
Nuclear resonant inelastic x-ray scattering on quartz structured 57FePO4 as a function of pressure, up to 8 GPa reveals hardening of the low-energy phonons under applied pressures up to 1.5 GPa, followed by a large softening at 1.8 GPa upon approachi
