Phonon thermal transport in 2H, 4H and 6H silicon carbide from first principles
Nakib Haider Protik, Ankita Katre, Lucas Lindsay +3
Silicon carbide (SiC) is a wide band gap semiconductor with a variety of industrial applications. Among its many useful properties is its high thermal conductivity, which makes it…
Unraveling the dominant phonon scattering mechanism in thermoelectric compound ZrNiSn
Ankita Katre, Jesús Carrete, Natalio Mingo
Determining defect types and concentrations remains a big challenge of semiconductor materials science. By using ab-initio thermal conductivity calculations we reveal that Ni/vacan…
Superdiffusive heat conduction in semiconductor alloys -- I. Theoretical foundations
Bjorn Vermeersch, Jesus Carrete, Natalio Mingo +1
Semiconductor alloys exhibit a strong dependence of effective thermal conductivity on measurement frequency. So far this quasi-ballistic behaviour has only been interpreted phenome…
Low thermal conductivity and triaxial phononic anisotropy of SnSe
Jesús Carrete, Natalio Mingo, Stefano Curtarolo
In this theoretical study, we investigate the origins of the very low thermal conductivity of tin selenide (SnSe) using ab-initio calculations. We obtained high-temperature lattice…
