Expanding the bandgap of thermal phonons by using supercrystals

Thermocrystals constitute a new type of periodic material that can be used to control heat flow. An important issue is how to widen the bandgap of thermocrystals to cover more of the thermal spectrum, and this is related to the efficiency of manipulating the transport of heat flow in a thermocrystal...
