The thermal conductivity reduction in HgTe/CdTe superlattices
arXiv:cond-mat/0112039 · doi:10.1063/1.1432473
Abstract
The techniques used previously to calculate the three-fold thermal conductivity reduction due to phonon dispersion in GaAs/AlAs superlattices (SLs) are applied to HgTe/CdTe SLs. The reduction factor is approximately the same, indicating that this SL may be applicable both as a photodetector and a thermoelectric cooler.
