Thermal conductivities of phosphorene allotropes from first-principles calculations: a comparative study

Abstract Phosphorene has attracted tremendous interest recently due to its intriguing electronic properties. However, the thermal transport properties of phosphorene, especially for its allotropes, are still not well-understood. In this work, we calculate the thermal conductivities of five phosphore...
