摘要/Abstract

摘要： The realization of reversible thermal conductivity through ferromagnetic ordering can improve the heat management and energy efficiency in magnetic materials-based devices. VI$_{3}$, as a new layered ferromagnetic semiconductor, exhibits a structural phase transition from monoclinic ($C2/m$) to rhombohedral ($R\bar{3}$) phase as temperature decreases, making it a suitable platform to investigate thermal switching in magnetic phase transition materials. This work reveals that the thermal switching ratio of VI$_{3}$ can reach 3.9 along the $a$-axis. Mechanical properties analysis indicates that the $C2/m$ structure is stiffer than the $R\bar{3}$ one, causing the larger phonon velocity in $C2/m$ phase. Moreover, due to the fewer phonon branches in $C2/m$ phase, the number of phonon-phonon scattering channels in $C2/m$ phase is smaller compared to that of $R\bar{3}$ phase. Both the larger phonon velocity and the longer phonon lifetime lead to larger lattice thermal conductivity in $C2/m$ phase. This study uncovers the mechanical and thermal properties of VI$_{3}$, which provides useful guides for designing magnetic materials-based devices such as thermal switch.
