Lattice instabilities and phonon thermal transport in TlBr
Abstract
Materials with simple crystal structure usually exhibit substantial lattice thermal conductivity due to a scarcity of strong phonon-phonon scattering channels. Yet here we find simple CsCl-structure TlBr to have an extremely low room temperature , while at low temperature we find a high of . This extreme range of conductivity behavior results from lattice-instability-related anharmonicity, effective only at temperatures above . Manipulating these instabilities (e.g., pressure, strain) may yield a pathway to ultralow thermal conductivity via intrinsic phonon resistance in similar materials.
