TLDR
In this paper, the thermal conductivities of mixed III-V compounds: indium arsenide-phosphide, gallium-indium arsenides and gallium antimonides are presented.
Abstract
The thermal conductivities as a function of temperature for silicon, germanium, gallium arsenide, indium phosphide, indium arsenide, indium antimonide, gallium phosphide, aluminum antimonide and gallium antimonide are presented. Also included are the thermal conductivities of the mixed III–V compounds: indium arsenide-phosphide, gallium-indium arsenide and gallium arsenide-phosphide. These data are derived from the publications listed in the bibliography and represent the author's selection of the “most probable” values. A brief phenomenological discussion of the mechanisms involved in thermal conduction is presented.

The best nanoparticle size distribution for minimum thermal conductivity.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used optimization methods to show that the best nanoparticle size distribution to scatter the broad thermal phonon spectrum is not a similarly broad distribution but rather several discrete peaks at well-chosen nanoparticle radii.

Thermal Conductivity and Thermoelectric Power of Germanium‐Silicon Alloys

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of germanium-silicon alloys were used for thermoelectric power measurement and it was shown that solid-solution alloying can significantly increase the figure of merit of the thermodynamic properties of these materials.
