The thesis, entitled “Heat conduction in quasiperiodic graphene-hBN superlattice nanoribbons” employed non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations to calculate the
The 33rd Annual Center for Simulational Physics Workshop
This week we are in Athens, Georgia for the 33rd edition of the Center for Simulational Physics Workshop, which has the theme “Recent Developments in Computer Simulational Studies in Condensed Matter Physics“. This annual workshop series highlights advances in applications, algorithms,
New paper in Carbon – Suppression of coherent thermal transport in quasiperiodic graphene-hBN superlattices
Our third publication of 2020 “Suppression of coherent thermal transport in quasiperiodic graphene-hBN superlattice ribbons” has just been published in Carbon. Nanostructured superlattices are promising materials for novel electronic devices due to their adjustable physical properties. Periodic superlattices facilitate coherent phonon
