Extreme longitudinal thermal conductivity and non-diffusive heat transport in isotopic hBN

Researchers from C2N and collaborators at Neel lab., MPQ lab, L2C lab. and Kansas university report record thermal transport properties in isotopically purified hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), a two-dimensional insulating material of major interest for thermal dissipation and thermal anisotropy. By combining microfabricated suspended devices with Raman thermometry (Fig a and b), the team demonstrates an in-plane thermal conductivity exceeding 1650 W·m⁻¹·K⁻¹ at room temperature, among the highest values …
