“…Furthermore, K a can vary significantly due to unmitigated sample-to-sample variations in interface preparation [10,26,42]. Processing steps, such as annealing, have been shown to impact the morphology of the substrate surface [43], which affects vdW spring coupling through average atomic separation between the 2D layer and the substrate surface. First-principles predictions of K a are hampered by the incommensurabilty of 2D layers and crystalline substrates or aperiodicity of amorphous substrates, which we elaborate further in Supplemental Information section S1.…”

Two-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) materials exhibit a broad palette of unique and superlative properties, including high electrical and thermal conductivities, paired with the ability to exfoliate or grow and transfer single layers onto a variety of substrates thanks to the relatively weak vdW interlayer bonding. However, the same vdW bonds also lead to relatively low thermal boundary conductance (TBC) between the 2D layer and its 3D substrate, which is the main pathway for heat removal and thermal management in devices, leading to a potential thermal bottleneck and dissipation-driven performance degradation. Here we use first-principles phonon dispersion with our 2D-3D Boltzmann phonon transport model to compute the TBC of 156 unique 2D/3D interface pairs, many of which are not available in the literature. We then employ machine learning (ML) to develop streamlined predictive models, of which Neural Network and Gaussian process display the highest predictive accuracy (RMSE < 5 MW.m -2 .K -1 and R 2 >0.99) on the complete descriptor set. Then we perform sensitivity analysis to identify the most impactful descriptors, consisting of the vdW spring coupling constant, 2D thermal conductivity, ZA phonon bandwidth, the ZA phonon resonance gap, and the frequency of the first van Hove singularity or Boson peak. On that reduced set, we find that a decision-tree algorithm can make accurate predictions (RMSE < 20 MW.m -2 .K -1 and R 2 >0.9) on materials it has not been trained on by performing a transferability analysis. Our model allows optimal selection of 2D-substrate pairings to maximize heat transfer and will improve thermal management in future 2D nanoelectronics.
