Thermal transport

An Eshelby twist to modulate thermal transport

Nature Materials volume 24, pages 658–659 (2025)Cite this article

Subjects

By studying Eshelby twisted GeS nanowires with a single central dislocation, an anomalous dependence of thermal conductivity on nanowire diameter is observed, caused by compressive strain improving thermal transport.
