Asymmetric Porous Metamaterials

Enhanced low-temperature thermal transport

Introducing asymmetry in the ballistic transport regime sharply increases the ballistic transport ratio, strongly enhancing thermal conductivity beyond what conventional disordered porosity achieves.

Advantages

Porous metamaterials with asymmetry and Gaussian disorder show strongly enhanced thermal conductivity

Enhancement originates from significant increase in ballistic transport ratio
