Acoustic phonons play a critical role in energy transport in nanostructures. The dispersion of acoustic phonons strongly influences thermal conductivity. Recent observations show lower values of thermal conductivity in finite dimensional nanostructures than in the bulk material. In this work, we will present results for guided acoustic phonon modes in (a) a bilayered GaAs-Nb nanowire of rectangular cross section and (b) a trapezoidal Si nanowire. The former has been used for phonon counting in a nanocalorimeter for measuring thermal conductivity and the latter is commonly used in MEMS applications. A semi-analytical finite element (SAFE) analysis technique has been used to investigate the effects of layering, anisotropy, and boundaries on the dispersion of modes of propagation. Many interesting features of group velocities are found that show confinements around the corners, in the low velocity layer, and coupling of the longitudinal and flexural modes. These would strongly influence thermal conductivity and might provide means of nondestrutive evaluation of mechanical properties.

Methylammonium Lead Iodide

Hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) have become an important class of semiconductors for solar cells and other optoelectronic applications. Electron–phonon coupling plays a critical role in all optoelectronic devices, and although the lattice dynamics and phonon frequencies of HOIPs have been well studied, little attention has been given to phonon lifetimes. We report high-precision momentum-resolved measurements of acoustic phonon lifetimes in the hybrid perovskite methylammonium lead iodide (MAPI), using inelastic neutron spectroscopy to provide high-energy resolution and fully deuterated single crystals to reduce incoherent scattering from hydrogen. Our measurements reveal extremely short lifetimes on the order of picoseconds, corresponding to nanometer mean free paths and demonstrating that acoustic phonons are unable to dissipate heat efficiently. Lattice-dynamics calculations using ab initio third-order perturbation theory indicate that the short lifetimes stem from strong three-phonon interactions and a high density of low-energy optical phonon modes related to the degrees of freedom of the organic cation. Such short lifetimes have significant implications for electron–phonon coupling in MAPI and other HOIPs, with direct impacts on optoelectronic devices both in the cooling of hot carriers and in the transport and recombination of band edge carriers. These findings illustrate a fundamental difference between HOIPs and conventional photovoltaic semiconductors and demonstrate the importance of understanding lattice dynamics in the effort to develop metal halide perovskite optoelectronic devices.
