Development of original and efficient approaches to describe inelastic interactions, time dependent transport and quantum heat transport at the nanoscale.
International Materials Research Congress: Session C8 "Nanoscale Heat Transfer, Fundamentals, and Applications" in Cancún-Mexico, https://www.mrs-mexico.org.mx/imrc2026/ Marc Bescond gave an invited talk at the IMRC on "QUANTUM AND ML-DRIVEN ENGINEERING OF PHONON TRANSPORT IN TWO-DIMENSIONAL MATERIALS AND SUPERLATTICES". Many thanks to the organizers for this great event! Ref : M. Bescond, "QUANTUM AND ML-DRIVEN ENGINEERING OF PHONON TRANSPORT IN TWO-DIMENSIONAL MATERIALS AND
Publication in npj Computational Materials! Controlling heat flow in nanostructures is crucial for digital technologies, AI, and power electronics, but the vast number of possible architectures makes optimization difficult. By combining quantum simulations with artificial intelligence, we have demonstrated that the local arrangement of layers in silicon–germanium (Si–Ge) superlattices strongly influences thermal transport. At the nanoscale, heat is carried mainly by phonons—v
