Three-phonon phase space and lattice thermal conductivity in semiconductors
Abstract
We present calculations of the phase space for three-phonon scattering events in several group IV, III–V and II–VI semiconductors employing an adiabatic bond charge model to accurately represent the phonon dispersions. We demonstrate that this phase space varies inversely with the measured lattice thermal conductivities of these materials over a wide range of temperatures where three-phonon scattering is the dominant mechanism for scattering phonons. We find that this qualitative relationship is robust in spite of variations in material parameters between the semiconductors. Anomalous behavior occurs in three III–V materials that have large mass differences between constituent elements, which we explain in terms of the severely restricted three-phonon phase space arising from the large gap between acoustic and optic phonon branches.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
