Low lattice thermal conductivity is one of the most important physical quantities for phononic device applications. Thus, we investigated the in-plane lattice thermal conductivity of mono- and bi-layer α-GeTe systems. The lattice thermal conductivity of the monolayer system along the zigzag direction was 0.43 (W mK−1) while it was 0.21 (W mK−1) along the armchair direction at 300 K, and the lattice thermal conductivity mostly originated from the out-of-plane acoustic mode. In the bilayer system, it was significantly suppressed to 0.044 (W mK−1) and 0.047 (W mK−1) along the zigzag and armchair directions, respectively, at 300 K. Particularly, the out-of-plane acoustic mode in the bilayer had a tremendous Grüneisen parameter and this led to an ultralow in-plane lattice thermal conductivity in the bilayer, and the optical mode dominated the contribution to the lattice thermal conductivity. Our findings may raise intriguing issues regarding the thermoelectric effect, heat insulators, and phononic device applications, and stimulate further experimental studies to verify our theoretical predictions.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
