Popis: Anisotropic phonon transport along different lattice directions of two-dimensional (2D) materials has been observed, however, the effect decreases with increasing the thickness beyond a few atomic layers. Here we establish a novel mechanism to induce anisotropic phonon transport in quasi-2D materials with isotropic symmetry. The phonon propagation is guided by resonance hybridization with surface nanostructures. We demonstrate that the thermal conductivity of 3 nm-thick silicon membrane with surface nanofins is greater by $\sim50\%$ parallel to the fins than that perpendicular to the fins.
