Two-dimensional phononic thermal conductance in thin membranes in the Casimir limit

We discuss computational analysis of phononic thermal conduction in the suspended membrane geometry, in the case where heat can flow out radially in two dimensions from a central source. As we are mostly interested in the low-temperature behavior where bulk scattering of phonons becomes irrelevant,...
