二维石墨烯超结构中的相干声子输运

Coherent Phonon Transport in Two-dimensional Graphene Superstructures

Usama Choudhry, Shengying Yue, Bolin Liao

摘要:

热声子的相干波效应有望在热输运控制中带来变革性的机会,但由于热声子的波长很小,通常低于几纳米,因此在很大程度上尚未探索。这个小的长度尺度表明,而不是人工声子晶体,一个更有前途的方向是研究自然材料中的相干声子效应与热声子波长匹配的分层超结构。在这项工作中,我们使用第一性原理模拟来表征以前未研究过的D-石墨烯和T-石墨烯的热性质,二维碳同素异形体基于传统的石墨烯结构,但含有二级,面内周期性。我们发现,尽管非常相似的原子结构和键合强度,D-石墨烯和T-石墨烯具有显着不同的热性能比原始石墨烯。在室温下,D-石墨烯和T-石墨烯的计算热导率为600 Wm-1 K-1和800 Wm-1 K-1,而石墨烯的热导率超过3000 Wm-1 K-1。我们将这些独特的属性归因于自然发生的低频光学声子模式的存在,这些模式显示声子相干性的特征,并且从声学模式的折叠和相关的频率间隙开口中产生,这种现象也发现于超晶格中,其中引入了平面外的周期性。此外,我们观察到D-和T-石墨烯中显著增强的Umklapp散射,这在很大程度上抑制了原始石墨烯中的流体动力学声子输运。我们的研究提出了D-石墨烯和T-石墨烯作为理想的模型系统,以探索2D中的相干声子效应,并展示了使用相干声子效应显着修改2D材料的热输运而不对其基本成分进行剧烈改变的潜力。

英文摘要:

Coherent wave effects of thermal phonons hold promise of transformative opportunities in thermal transport control but remain largely unexplored due to the small wavelength of thermal phonons, typically below a few nanometers. This small length scale indicates that, instead of artificial phononic crystals, a more promising direction is to examine the coherent phonon effects in natural materials with hierarchical superstructures matching the thermal phonon wavelength. In this work, we use first-principles simulations to characterize the previously unstudied thermal properties of D-graphene and T-graphene, two-dimensional carbon allotropes based upon the traditional graphene structure but containing a secondary, in-plane periodicity. We find that despite very similar atomic structure and bonding strength, D-graphene and T-graphene possess significantly different thermal properties than that of pristine graphene. At room temperature, the calculated thermal conductivity of D-graphene and T-graphene is 600 Wm-1K-1 and 800 Wm-1K-1 compared to over 3000 Wm-1K-1 for graphene. We attribute these distinct properties to the presence of naturally occurring, low frequency optical phonon modes that display characteristics of phonon coherence and arise from a folding of the acoustic modes and the associated frequency gap opening, a phenomenon also found in superlattices where an out of plane periodicity is introduced. Furthermore, we observe significantly enhanced Umklapp scatterings in D- and T-graphene that largely suppress the hydrodynamic phonon transport in pristine graphene. Our study presents D-graphene and T-graphene as ideal model systems to explore the coherent phonon effects in 2D and demonstrates the potential of using coherent phonon effects to significantly modify thermal transport of 2D materials without making drastic changes to their fundamental compositions.
