Impact of the Interfacial Thermal Conductance on the Thermoplasmonic Response of Metal/Polymer Hybrid Nanoparticles under Nanosecond Pulsed Illumination

Thermoplasmonics attracts significant interest in nanoscale heat transport applications such as catalysis, biomedical nanodevices (thermal therapies for cancer treatment) or imaging. These structures rely on the heating using electromagnetic radiation and the subsequent heat transfer to the surroundings. The dynamic…

Electrons Surf Phason Waves in Moiré Bilayers

Phasons are a particular type of collective motion of atoms that occur in aperiodic structures such as quasicrystals. The interaction between phasons and other collective excitations within a material leads to fascinating thermal and electronic transport phenomena. Recently, twisted moiré…
