Boron arsenide phonon dispersion from inelastic x-ray scattering: Potential for ultrahigh thermal conductivity

Journal Article Ma, Hao ; Li, Chen ; Tang, Shixiong ; ... - Physical Review B

Cubic boron arsenide (BAs) was predicted to have an exceptionally high thermal conductivity (k) similar to 2000Wm(-1)K(-1) at room temperature, comparable to that of diamond, based on first-principles calculations. Subsequent experimental measurements, however, only obtained a k of similar to 200Wm(-1)K(-1). To gain insight into this discrepancy, we measured phonon dispersion of single-crystal BAs along high symmetry directions using inelastic x-ray scattering and compared these with first-principles calculations. Based on the measured phonon dispersion, we have validated the theoretical prediction of a large frequency gap between acoustic and optical modes and bunching of acoustic branches, which were considered the mainmore »« less

Gallium arsenide thermal conductivity and optical phonon relaxation times from first-principles calculations

Journal Article Luo, Tengfei ; Garg, Jivtesh ; Shiomi, Junichiro ; ... - Europhysics Letters

Thermal conductivity of crystalline GaAs is calculated using first-principles lattice dynamics. The harmonic and cubic force constants are obtained by fitting them to the force-displacement data from density functional theory calculations. Phonon dispersion is calculated from a dynamical matrix constructed using the harmonic force constants and phonon relaxation times are calculated using Fermi's Golden rule. The calculated GaAs thermal conductivity agrees well with experimental data. Thermal conductivity accumulations as a function of the phonon mean free path and as a function of the wavelength are obtained. Our results predict a significant size effect on the GaAs thermal conductivity in themore »« less
