The monoclinic beta-phase of gallium oxide, known for its ultra-wide bandgap, emerges as a promising candidate for power electronic device technologies. We examine whether the macroscopic thermal anisotropy persists on the nanoscale. Employing the optical transient thermal grating (TTG) method, we determine the in-plane anisotropy of thermal transport and acoustic phonons across different grating length scales ranging from 110 to 26 nm. Thereby examining potential length-scale dependencies of the β−Ga2O3 anisotropy. Our experiments, conducted at the Fermi Free Electron Laser (FEL) [Elettra Synchrotron Trieste, dedicated endstation EIS-TIMER] on a (001)-β−Ga2O3 sample, enable the observation of thermal effects at ultra-short length scales.
