Thermal transport and anharmonic phonons in strained monolayer h-BN

Thermal transport and phonon coupling in monolayer h-BN under equibiaxial strains are investigated from first principles. Phonon spectra at elevated temperatures have been calculated from perturbation theory using the third-order anharmonic force constants. The phonon coupling insight obtained in this work may provide a guideline for the strain engineering of the thermal transport in h-BN.
