Abstract | Dynamical control of thermal transport at the nanoscale provides a time-domain strategy for optimizing thermal management in nanoelectronics, magnetic devices, and thermoelectric devices. However, the rate of change available for thermal switches and regulators is limited to millisecond time scales, calling for a faster modulation speed. Here, time-resolved X-ray diffraction measurements and thermal transport modeling reveal an ultrafast modulation of the interfacial thermal conductance of an FeRh/MgO heterostructure as a result of a structural phase transition driven by optical excitation. Within 90 ps after optical excitation, the interfacial thermal conductance is reduced by a factor of 5 and lasts for a few nanoseconds, in comparison to the value at the equilibrium FeRh/MgO interface. The experimental results combined with thermal transport calculations suggest that the reduced interfacial thermal conductance results from enhanced phonon scattering at the interface where the lattice experiences transient in-plane biaxial stress due to the structural phase transition of FeRh. Our results suggest that optically driven phase transitions can be utilized for ultrafast nanoscale thermal switches for device application. |
