Dimer rattling mode induced low thermal conductivity in an excellent acoustic conductor
Ji Qi, Baojuan Dong, Zhe Zhang +19
A solid with larger sound speeds exhibits higher lattice thermal conductivity (k_{lat}). Diamond is a prominent instance where its mean sound speed is 14400 m s-1 and k_{lat} is 23…
