• Colloquium: Phononic thermal properties of two-dimensional materials (2017, background): “As scattering is sensitive to the size of the imperfections, the isotope clusters play a similar role to nanoparticles in bulk materials (Kim et al., 2006), i.”
• Nanowire-composite based flexible thermoelectric nanogenerators and self-powered temperature sensors (2012, background): “Nanomaterials with higher performance are more attractive than their bulk counterparts for use in such thermoelectric devices since phonon scattering and energy-dependent scattering of electrical carriers occur in the presence of nanoscale interfaces [4–6].”
