Phonon hydrodynamics and its applications in nanoscale heat transport (2015, unknown): “Thermal rectification in phononics Thermal rectification is an interesting phenomenon where the thermal transport behaviors depend on the sign of temperature gradient [289], viz.”
Thermal conduction phenomena in carbon nanotubes and related nanostructured materials (2013, background): “Thermal rectification, which is a phenomenon where heat is conducted more or less easily depending on the direction of heat transport (i.e., positive or negative thermal bias), has been of interest for many decades (Roberts and Walker, 2011).”
Colloquium : Phononics: Manipulating heat flow with electronic analogs and beyond (2011, background): “Some examples that come to mind are phonon polaritons, i.e. the interaction of optical phonons with infrared photons, the generic phonon-electron interactions occurring in metals and semi-metal structures, phonon-spin interactions, or the phonon-phonon interaction in presence of nonlinearity.”
