Managing heat is a major challenge to meet future demands for a sustainable use of our energy resources. This requires materials, which can be custom-designed to exhibit specific temperature-dependent thermal transport properties to become integrated into thermal switches, transistors, or diodes. Common crystalline and amorphous materials are not suitable, owing to their gradual changes of the temperature-dependent thermal conductivity. We show how a second-order phase transition fully controls ...[more]
