Effect of Twist Angle on Interfacial Thermal Transport in Two-Dimensional Bilayers.

ABSTRACT: Advances in two-dimensional (2D) devices require innovative approaches for manipulating transport properties. Analogous to the electrical and optical responses, it has been predicted that thermal transport across 2D materials can have a similar strong twist-angle dependence. Here, we report experimental evidence deviating from this understanding. In contrast to the large tunability in electrical transport, we measured an unexpected weak twist-angle dependence of interfacial thermal transport in MoS₂ bilayers, which is consistent with theoretical calculations. More notably, we confirmed the existence of distinct regimes with weak and strong twist-angle dependencies for thermal transport, where, for example, a much stronger change with twist angles is expected for graphene bilayer
