July 2023 – Professor Balandin delivered a plenary conference opening talk at the number one phonons conference in the world – Conference on Phonon Scattering in Condensed Matter – PHONONS XVII in Paris, France (2023). The talk was entitled Thermal Conductivity of Graphene – Twists and Turns in Understanding Phonon Transport in Quasi-Two-Dimensional Materials.” It covered the theory and experiment of heat conduction in graphene, as well as applications of graphene in thermal management. If you missed the gathering in Paris, but still want to get an idea of important developments in the graphene thermal field, check out the abstract and the presentation slides.
