Assessing the applicability of quantum corrections to classical thermal conductivity predictions

Turney, J. E., McGaughey, A. J. H., Amon, C. H.·2009·Physical Review B

Abstract

The validity of the commonly used quantum corrections for mapping a classically predicted thermal conductivity onto a corresponding quantum value are assessed by self-consistently predicting the classical and quantum thermal conductivities of a crystalline silicon system via lattice-dynamics calculations. Applying the quantum corrections to the classical predictions, with or without the zero-point energy, does not bring them into better agreement with the quantum predictions compared to the uncorrected classical values above temperatures of 200 K. By examining the mode dependence of the phonon properties, we demonstrate that thermal conductivity cannot be quantum corrected on a system level. We explore the source of the differences in the quantum and classical phonon relaxation times on a mode-by-mode basis.

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.
