Abstract

Whensystem dimension and size go down, many interesting phenomena can happen. Bothexperimental and numerical works in recent years have shown that phonon/heattransport in low (quasi 1D and 2D) dimensional micro systems and nanostructures like nanotube, nanowire, polymer chain, graphene, and other 2Dmaterials show anomalous behavior:

(a)heat conduction due to phonons does not follow the Fourier law;

(b)heat transports may break down the reciprocal principle, namely heat flowsasymmetrically.

(c)negative differential thermal resistance will arise, namely the larger thetemperature drops, the smaller the heat current.

Issues(b) and (c) can be used to build up useful phononic thermal devices like thermaldiode and thermal transistor, which lay the foundation of a new emerging field� phononics.

Inthis talk, I will discuss the underlying physical mechanism of these anomalousheat/phonon transport. In particular, I will discuss how the anomalous thermaltransport - a macroscopic phenomenon � is connected with the anomalous energydiffusion - a microscopic process.
