Anisotropic thermal transport in bulk hexagonal boron nitride

Journal Article Jiang, Puqing ; Qian, Xin ; Yang, Ronggui ; ... - Physical Review Materials

Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has received great interest in recent years as a wide band-gap analog of graphene-derived systems along with its potential in a wide range of applications, for example, as the dielectric layer for graphene devices. However, the thermal transport properties of h-BN, which can be critical for device reliability and functionality, are little studied both experimentally and theoretically. The primary challenge in the experimental measurements of the anisotropic thermal conductivity of h-BN is that typically the sample size of h-BN single crystals is too small for conventional measurement techniques, as state-of-the-art technologies synthesize h-BN single crystals withmore »« less

Thermal conductivity in Bi _0.5Sb _1.5Te _3+x and the role of dense dislocation arrays at grain boundaries

Journal Article Deng, Rigui ; Su, Xianli ; Zheng, Zheng ; ... - Science Advances

Several prominent mechanisms for reduction in thermal conductivity have been shown in recent years to improve the figure of merit for thermoelectric materials. Such a mechanism is a hierarchical all-length-scale architecturing that recognizes the role of all microstructure elements, from atomic to nano to microscales, in reducing (lattice) thermal conductivity. In this context, there have been recent claims of remarkably low (lattice) thermal conductivity in Bi _0.5Sb _1.5Te ₃ that are attributed to seemingly ordinary grain boundary dislocation networks. These high densities of dislocation networks in Bi _0.5Sb _1.5Te ₃ were generated via unconventional materials processing with excess Te (whichmore »« less

Vibrational states of a water molecule in a nano-cavity of beryl crystal lattice

Journal Article Zhukova, Elena S., E-mail: zhukovaelenka@gmail.com ; Gorshunov, Boris P. ; 1. Physikalisches Institut, Universität Stuttgart, Pfaffenwaldring 57, 70550 Stuttgart ; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

Low-energy excitations of a single water molecule are studied when confined within a nano-size cavity formed by the ionic crystal lattice. Optical spectra are measured of manganese doped beryl single crystal Mn:Be{sub 3}Al{sub 2}Si{sub 6}O{sub 18}, that contains water molecules individually isolated in 0.51 nm diameter voids within the crystal lattice. Two types of orientation are distinguished: water-I molecules have their dipole moments aligned perpendicular to the c axis and dipole moments of water-II molecules are parallel to the c-axis. The optical conductivity σ(ν) and permittivity ε{sup ′}(ν) spectra are recorded in terahertz and infrared ranges, at frequencies from severalmore »« less

A reversible single-molecule switch based on activated antiaromaticity

Journal Article Yin, Xiaodong ; Zang, Yaping ; Zhu, Liangliang ; ... - Science Advances

Single-molecule electronic devices provide researchers with an unprecedented ability to relate novel physical phenomena to molecular chemical structures. Typically, conjugated aromatic molecular backbones are relied upon to create electronic devices, where the aromaticity of the building blocks is used to enhance conductivity. We capitalize on the classical physical organic chemistry concept of Hückel antiaromaticity by demonstrating a single-molecule switch that exhibits low conductance in the neutral state and, upon electrochemical oxidation, reversibly switches to an antiaromatic high-conducting structure. We form single-molecule devices using the scanning tunneling microscope–based break-junction technique and observe an on/off ratio of ~70 for a thiophenylidene derivativemore »« less

Thermally Anisotropic Composites for Improving the Energy Efficiency of Building Envelopes

Journal Article Biswas, Kaushik ; Shrestha, Som S. ; Hun, Diana E. ; ... - Energies (Basel)

This article describes a novel application of thermal anisotropy for improving the energy efficiency of building envelopes. The current work was inspired by existing research on improved heat dissipation in electronics using thermal anisotropy. Past work has shown that thermally anisotropic composites (TACs) can be created by the alternate layering of two dissimilar, isotropic materials. Here, a TAC consisting of alternate layers of rigid foam insulation and thin, high-conductivity aluminum foil was investigated. The TAC was coupled with copper tubes with circulating water that acted as a heat sink and source. The TAC system was applied to a conventional wood-framedmore »« less
