Journal ArticleDOI

Four-phonon scattering significantly reduces intrinsic thermal conductivity of solids

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that four-phonon scattering is generally important in solids and can remedy such discrepancies and point out ways to improve thermoelectrics, thermal barrier coatings, nuclear materials, and radiative heat transfer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantum mechanical prediction of four-phonon scattering rates and reduced thermal conductivity of solids

TL;DR: In this paper, a formalism is developed to explicitly determine quantum mechanical scattering probability matrices for four-phonon scattering in the full Brillouin zone, and by mitigating the computational challenge, the authors have directly calculated fourphonson scattering rates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Strong Phonon–Phonon Interactions Securing Extraordinary Thermoelectric Ge1–xSbxTe with Zn-Alloying-Induced Band Alignment

TL;DR: This study clarifies the impacts of high-concentration substitutional atoms on phonon band structure, phonon-phonon scattering rates, and the convergence of electron valence band edges, which could provide guidelines for developing high-performance thermoelectric materials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Highly Porous Thermoelectric Nanocomposites with Low Thermal Conductivity and High Figure of Merit from Large‐Scale Solution‐Synthesized Bi2Te2.5Se0.5 Hollow Nanostructures

TL;DR: This method can be adopted to fabricate other porous phase-transition and thermoelectric chalcogenide materials and will pave the way for the implementation of hollow nanostructures in other fields.
