Research summary

Xiaolong Yang's work focuses on how heat and electrons move through solid materials, particularly novel semimetals, two-dimensional materials, and thermoelectric compounds. Much of the research uses computational modeling of atomic vibrations (phonons) and electron behavior to explain unusual thermal and electrical transport properties, such as violations of standard physical laws or anomalous conductivity linked to a material's crystal structure. The publication record also includes some work on batteries, catalysts, and sensing devices, suggesting a broader materials science scope alongside the core thermal transport focus.
