Physically founded phonon dispersions of few-layer materials and the case of borophene
BSTRACTBy building physically sound interatomic force constants
we offer evidence of the universal presence of a quadratic phonon branch in all unstrained 2D materials
thus contradicting much of the existing literature. Through a reformulation of the interatomic force constants (IFCs) in terms of internal coordinates
we find that a delicate balance between the IFCs is responsible for this quadraticity. We use this approach to predict the thermal conductivity of Pmmn borophene
which is comparable to that of
and displays a remarkable in-plane anisotropy. These qualities may enable the efficient heat management of borophene devices in potential nanoelectronic applications.
IMPACT STATEMENT
The newly found universality of quadratic dispersion will change the way 2D-material phonons are calculated. Predicted results for borophene shall become a fundamental reference for future research on this material.
