Abstract

Proton tunneling is believed to be nonlocal in ice, but its range has been shown to be limited to only a few molecules. Here, we measured the thermal conductivity of ice under pressure up to 50 GPa and found it increases with pressure until 20 GPa but decreases at higher pressures. We attribute this nonmonotonic thermal conductivity to the collective tunneling of protons at high pressures, supported by large-scale quantum molecular dynamics simulations. The collective tunneling loops span several picoseconds in time and are as large as nanometers in space, which match the phonon periods and wavelengths, leading to strong phonon scattering at high pressures. Our results show direct evidence of global quantum motion existing in high-pressure ice and provide a new perspective to understanding the coupling between phonon propagation and atomic tunneling.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The 1/e2 beam radius of 30 μm in the measurement results in negligible sensitivity of TDTR signals to in-plane thermal conductivity Λ// at frequencies higher than 4 MHz.

    “However, the 1/e 2 beam radius of 30 µ m in our measurement results in a negligible sensitivity of signals to Λ // at f higher than 4 MHz (see Supplemental Material [25]).”

    From Boundary conditions dictate frequency dependence of thermal conductivity in silicon (2025) · cites this paper as [25]

    The TDTR measurement passage (section labeled Abstract; page unavailable) mentions a sensitivity analysis but identifies metal-transducer thickness and heat capacity as the main sources of uncertainty. Searches for the 30 μm beam radius, frequencies above 4 MHz, and sensitivity to in-plane thermal conductivity found no passage addressing the claimed relationship. (LLM, conf=0.74)

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.
