Heat dissipation in next-generation electronics based on two-dimensional (2D) materials is a
critical issue in their development and implementation. A potential bottleneck for heat removal in
2D-based devices is the thermal pathway from the 2D layer into its supporting substrate. The choice
of substrate, its composition and structure, can strongly impact the thermal boundary conductance
(TBC). Here we investigate the temperature-dependent TBC of 42 interfaces formed between a
group of six 2D materials and seven crystalline and amorphous substrates. We use first-principles
density functional perturbation theory to calculate the full phonon dispersion of the 2D layers and
substrates and then …

The steady-state behavior of thermal transport in bulk and nanostructured semiconductors has been widely
studied, both theoretically and experimentally. On the other hand, fast transients and frequency dynamics of
thermal conduction has been given less attention. The frequency response of thermal conductivity has become
more crucial in recent years, especially in light of the constant rise in the clock frequencies in microprocessors
and terahertz sensing applications. Thermal conductivity in response to a time-varying temperature field starts
decaying when the frequency exceeds a cutoff frequency Omega_c, which is related to the inverse of phonon relaxation time τ, on the order of …
