Several ternary “Janus” metal dichalcogenides such as {Mo, Zr, Pt}-SSe have emerged as candidates with significant potential for optoelectronic, piezoelectric, and thermoelectric …
In this contribution we assess the performance of two different exchange-correlation functionals in the first-principles prediction of the lattice thermal conductivity of bulk …
The standard theoretical understanding of the lattice thermal conductivity κ ℓ of semiconductor alloys assumes that mass disorder is the most important source of phonon …
The mechanisms causing the reduction in lattice thermal conductivity in highly P-and B- doped Si are looked into in detail. Scattering rates of phonons by point defects, as well as by …
Linear models, such as force constant (FC) and cluster expansions, play a key role in physics and materials science. While they can in principle be parametrized using regression …
We calculate the thermal conductivity (κ) of highly N-and B-doped cubic silicon carbide (SiC) with defect concentrations (C def) from 10 16 to 10 21 cm− 3 and compare the relative …
We consider a one-dimensional mono-atomic lattice with random perturbations of masses spread over a finite number of particles. Assuming Newtonian dynamics and linear nearest …
The thermal conductivities (κ) of bulk and thin-film α-Al2O3 are calculated from first principles using both the local density approximation (LDA) and the generalized gradient …
Phonon resonance scattering caused by point defects has long been believed to be able to induce an abnormal temperature dependence of thermal conductivity κ that significantly …
