▎ 摘  要

The power loss P of hot Dirac fermions through the coupling to the intrinsic intravalley and intervalley acoustic and optical phonons is analytically investigated in silicene as a function of electron temperature T-e and density n(s). At very low T-e, the power dissipation is found to follow the Bloch-Gruneisen power-law proportional to T-4(e) and n(s)(-0.5), as in graphene, and for T-e less than or similar to 20-30 K, the power loss is predominantly due to the intravalley acoustic phonon scattering. On the other hand, dispersionless low energy intervalley acoustic phonons begin to dominate the power transfer at temperatures as low as similar to 30 K, and optical phonons dominate at T-e greater than or similar to 200 K, unlike the graphene. The total power loss increases with T-e with a value of similar to 10(10) eV s(-1) at 300 K, which is the same order of magnitude as in graphene. The power loss due to intravalley acoustic phonons increases with n(s) at higher T-e, whereas due to the intervalley acoustic and optical phonons is found to be independent of n(s). Interestingly, the energy relaxation time in silicene is about four times higher than that in graphene. For this reason, silicene may be superior over graphene for its applications in bolometers and calorimeters. Power transfer to the surface optical phonons P-SO is also studied as a function of T-e and n(s) for silicene on Al2O3 substrate and it is found to be greater than the intrinsic phonon contribution at higher T-e. Substrate engineering is discussed to reduce P-SO.
