Journal ArticleDOI
Heat conduction in multifunctional nanotrusses studied using Boltzmann transport equation
TL;DR: In this paper, heat conduction in the exact nanotruss geometry was studied by solving the frequency-dependent Boltzmann transport equation using a variance-reduced Monte Carlo algorithm.

TL;DR: This work simulates static and dynamical electronic structure on a superconducting quantum processor derived from Google’s Sycamore architecture for two representative correlated electron problems: the nitrogenase iron-sulfur molecular clusters, and α -ruthenium trichloride, a proximate spin-liquid material.
Journal ArticleDOI
Active thermal extraction of near-field thermal radiation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors exploit the monochromatic nature of near-field thermal radiation to drive a transition in a laser gain medium, which, when coupled with external optical pumping, allows the resonant surface mode to be emitted into the far field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Origin of micron-scale propagation lengths of heat-carrying acoustic excitations in amorphous silicon
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported measurements of the thermal conductivity mean free path accumulation function in amorphous silicon thin films from 60 - 315 K using transient grating spectroscopy.
Journal Article
In-plane Elastic and thermal properties of free-standing Molybdenum Disulfide Membranes measured using Ultrafast Transient Grating Spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this article, transient grating spectroscopy was used to simultaneously measure the in-plane elastic and thermal properties of free-standing Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) membranes at room temperature.
