Abstract:
The temperature-dependent thermal conductivity of violet phosphorus on a perforated SiO2/Si substrate has been investigated via optothermal Raman spectroscopy. The obtained temperature coefficients of the Tg mode and Ptub mode of the violet phosphorus sample are -0.01268 and -0.01789 cm-1 K-1, respectively. On the basis of the temperature coefficients and power coefficients, the thermal conductivity of the violet phosphorus has been calculated to be 44.642 ± 4.995 W/mK at room temperature, which is higher than that of other two-dimensional materials such as black phosphorus and MoS2 due to the effect of boundary scattering and the phonon mean free path. Additionally, the thermal conductivity of violet phosphorus decreases as a power exponential function of the temperature, which is primarily associated with the phonon mean free path and phonon group velocity. This work provides a scientific foundation for thermal management and heat dissipation in designing micro-nano devices with violet phosphorus.
