Coherent Phonon Heat Conduction in Superlattices
Abstract
Coherent Heat Flow: Typically, heat in solids is transported incoherently because phonons scatter at interfaces and defects. Luckyanova et al. (p. 936 ) grew super-lattice films made from one to nine repeats of layers of GaAs and AlAs, each 12-nm thick. Thermal conductivity through this sandwich structure increased linearly with the number of superlattice repeats, which is consistent with theoretical simulations of coherent heat transport.

In the citing paper
“However, the Kz of superlattices was also found to depend on the total film thickness, as shown in Figure 6(d), indicating that a significant fraction of phonons can coherently transport across the interfaces and are only scattered by the film boundary. 27, 137”

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.
