A study led by the ICN2 Phononic and Photonic Nanostructures Group (P2N) and recently published in ACS Nano Letters investigates thermal properties of crystalline films of SnSe2 (a two-dimensional material). This work provides new information on heat transport in 2D materials, useful for the design of electronic devices with improved heat control.
