Thermal Conductivity and Tunable Thermal Anisotropy of Magnetic CrSBr Monolayer
12 May 2026

A new paper has been published in the journal Advanced Physics Research:

We present first-principles calculations of the thermal conductivity, kappa, , of monolayer CrSBr, a van der Waals magnetic 2D material. We find a considerable thermal anisotropy, with a ratio kappaxx/kappayy of around 1.8. The anisotropy stems from a combined effect of phonon velocities and lifetimes and can be tuned by controlling the flake size by suppressing long mean path phonons.
