Key Findings:

  • Exceptional Heat Conductivity: NCCN, a super-thin material, exhibits remarkably high heat conductivity at room temperature (~1800 W/mK).
  • Unusual Temperature Dependence: Unlike most materials, heat conductivity in NCCN does not decrease with increasing temperature.
  • Phonon Hydrodynamics: The unique behavior is attributed to phonon hydrodynamics, where heat-carrying sound waves act like a fluid.
  • Stretch Sensitivity: Stretching the material alters heat movement, reducing efficiency due to slowed sound waves.

Significance:

  • Heat Control: Offers new insights into managing heat in ultra-thin materials.
  • Potential Applications: Could lead to improved cooling solutions for electronics and devices.
  • Comparison with Graphene: NCCN may outperform graphene in high-temperature applications.
