Phonon Scattering in Semiconductors From Thermal Conductivity Studies
Abstract
The lattice thermal conductivity of a number of semiconductors including InSb, GaAs, GaSb, CdTe, and CdS has been measured between 1.7 and 300\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}K. This, together with previous work on Si and Ge, is used to investigate the validity of the relaxation time expressions for scattering of phonons by boundaries, atomic impurities and electrons, and to discuss phonon-phonon interactions and resonance scattering effects. The results indicate that the boundary scattering and isotope scattering relaxation times lead to accurate calculated values of thermal conductivity only when the materials are exceptionally pure. Structure, which has been identified as due to resonance scattering, has been observed in the data for most of the materials. Electron-phonon scattering has been noted in GaSb but the complexity of the problems make the analysis only qualitative. The maximum transverse acoustical phonon frequency may be of more significance than the Debye temperature for thermal conductivity calculations.

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.
