Title: Symmetry-driven phonon chirality and transport in one-dimensional and bulk B a 3 N -derived materials

Journal Article · · Physical Review B

Symmetry and dimensionality are essential factors defining lattice dynamics and conductivity (Îş). Here, we critically examine these via ab initio Boltzmann transport applied to single chain and bulk electride Ba3N and Ba3NX (X = Sb,Bi). Chiral phonons in one-dimensional chains obey new symmetry-based scattering rules that limit thermal resistance. Weak chain coupling breaks these in the bulk, giving lower Îş and large Îş anisotropy. Curiously, intercalation of large X atoms binds chains more strongly, reducing the volume, yet gives lower Îş and transforms the electronic behavior. As a result, insights developed here can be more generally applied to other materials and provide avenues for predictive materials design.
