Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have found that applying an electric field to a specialized ceramic can nearly ...

Researchers have captured the first direct, momentum-resolved evidence that certain lattice vibrations carry measurable ...

Graphene, a material which consists of a single layer of carbon atoms, has been celebrated by many as the 'next big thing' in material science. But according to researchers, its thermal properties may ...

The thermal hall effect (THE) is a physical phenomenon characterized by tiny transverse temperature differences occurring in a material when a thermal current passes through it and a perpendicular ...

Electron-phonon scattering is often the primary mechanism limiting electron mobility in semiconductors. Thus, changing phonon properties can provide a way to control conductivity. Recently, there has ...

We show that the otherwise invisible impact of selection rules on three-phonon scattering can be exposed through anomalous signatures in the pressure and temperature dependence of the thermal ...
