We explore the atomistic mechanisms of thermal transport in solids, extending established formulations and developing the computational framework to solve them. Starting from a density-matrix formalism, we show how the phonon Boltzmann equation is missing a tunneling term that becomes pivotal in disordered or defective materials. Thus, we derive a unified ‘Wigner formulation’ that...

In most conductors, diffusive scattering from defects and lattice vibrations results in Ohmic transport. Alternatively, transport is ballistic, when the channel dimensions are the smallest length scale. However, when electron-electron interactions are sufficiently strong, charge transport can mimic the viscous flow of fluids. In the current work, we explore this analogy and observe that the...

Advances in the manipulation of van der Waals materials have shown that bilayers offer a unique platform for studying strongly correlated physics in two-dimensions (2D). Bilayers are importantly different from monolayers in that there exist long-range interactions between electrons in both the intra- and inter-layer channels, which differ only slightly. We show that the electronic charge...
