Phonon-induced ratchet motion of a water nanodroplet on a supported black phosphorene

J Chen - The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, 2020 - ACS Publications
Phonons are not supposed to carry any physical momentum as lattice vibrational modes;
thus, it is believed no mass transport could be induced by phonons. In this Letter, we show …
