We discuss heat conduction in 2d lattices, the first example of a
class of 2d harmonic crystals subject to on-site anharmonic
potentials. In general, they do not show up linear thermal gradient
in contrast to their 1d counterparts. Inclusion of specific
nonlinearity, however, leads to conductivity which diverges
logarithmically with system size. The variation of thermal
conductivity (κ) with temperature and dissipation enables us
to identify a dynamical contribution over and above the
thermodynamic factor allowed by the transition state theory as
and
to distinguish the regimes of energy diffusion and spatial diffusion in
the nonequilibrium stationary state in thermal conduction.
