Dual Substrate Effect of Silicon Substrate on Thermal Transport Characteristic of (14,14,14)‐Graphyne: Transformation from Conventional Suppressing Role to Abnormal Promoting Role.

Herein, (14,14,14)‐graphyne (GY) supported by silicon substrate is chosen to be the research object. The results demonstrate that the increasing distance between substrate and supported materials (dsub‐sup) results in the enhancement of thermal conductivity (TC) of supported GY, and the TC of supported GY is even higher than that of free‐standing GY when dsub‐sup exceeds a certain value, which means substrate plays an abnormal promoting role in the thermal transport in supported materials (SM). This phenomenon breaks the traditional cognition that the increasing dsub‐sup can only lead to the TC of SM approaching that of free‐standing model. The related mechanism can be seen as the combined impact of weak interaction of long‐dsub‐sup substrate and tensile effect led by lattice mismatch between substrate and GY. Combining with phonon analysis, it can be observed that the influence of substrate shows a closer relationship with phonon scattering, i.e., the anharmonicity, especially the anharmonicity of out‐of‐plane direction. The anomalous promoting effect of long‐dsub‐sup can be also attributed to the weaker scattering of out‐of‐plane phonon, especially the reduced four‐order phonon scattering. This research provides a new idea to suppress the negative effect of substrate on heat dissipation in electronic devices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
