Abstract
The urgent demand of extreme(ultra-high/low)thermal conductivity materials is triggered by the high-power device,where exploring the theories and mecha-nisms of regulating thermal transport properties plays a key role.Herein,we elaborately investigate the effect of ver-tical(out-of-plane)piezoelectric characteristics on thermal transport,which is historically undiscovered.The different stacking-order(AA and AB)bilayer boron nitride(Bi-BN)in two-dimensional(2D)materials are selected as study cases.By performing state-of-the-art first-principles cal-culations,it is found that the polarization charge along the out-of-plane orientation ascends significantly with the increasing piezoelectric response in AB stacked Bi-BN(Bi-BN-AB)followed by the enhanced interlayer B-N atomic interactions.Consequently,the amplitude of pho-non anharmonicity in Bi-BN-AB increases larger than that in the AA stacked Bi-BN(Bi-BN-AA),resulting in the dramatic weakening of the thermal conductivity by 20.34％under 18％strain.Our research reveals the significant role of the vertical(out-of-plane)piezoelectric characteristic in regulating thermal transport and provides new insight into accurately exploring the thermal transport performance of 2D van der Waals materials.
