Scaling analysis of negative differential thermal resistance.
Negative differential thermal resistance (NDTR) can be generated for any one-dimensional heat flow with a temperature-dependent thermal conductivity. In a system-independent scaling analysis, the general condition for the occurrence of NDTR is found to be an inequality with three scaling exponents: n(1)n(2) < -(1+n(3)), where n(1) ∈ (-∞,+∞) describes a particular way of varying the temperature ...
متن کاملNegative Differential Resistance in Boron Nitride Graphene Heterostructures: Physical Mechanisms and Size Scaling Analysis
Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is drawing increasing attention as an insulator and substrate material to develop next generation graphene-based electronic devices. In this paper, we investigate the quantum transport in heterostructures consisting of a few atomic layers thick hBN film sandwiched between graphene nanoribbon electrodes. We show a gate-controllable vertical transistor exhibiting str...
متن کاملThermal rectification and negative differential thermal resistance in a driven two segment classical Heisenberg chain.
Using computer simulation we investigate thermal transport in a two segment classical Heisenberg spin chain with nearest neighbor interaction and in the presence of an external magnetic field. The system is thermally driven by heat baths attached at the two ends and transport properties are studied using energy conserving dynamics. We demonstrate that by properly tuning the parameters thermal r...
متن کاملNegative differential thermal conductance through vacuum
We propose a scheme for achieving negative differential thermal conductance in near-field electromagnetic thermal transfer. As an example, we show that the scheme can be implemented with two slabs of silicon carbide brought in close proximity to each other. We also describe how a bistable thermal switch can be constructed in this manner. VC 2012 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.367...
متن کاملExistence of negative differential thermal conductance in one-dimensional diffusive thermal transport.
We show that in a finite one-dimensional (1D) system with diffusive thermal transport described by the Fourier's law, negative differential thermal conductance (NDTC) cannot occur when the temperature at one end is fixed and there are no abrupt junctions. We demonstrate that NDTC in this case requires the presence of junction(s) with temperature-dependent thermal contact resistance (TCR). We de...
