Soft phonons and ultralow lattice thermal conductivity in the Dirac semimetal Cd_{3}As_{2}

Recently, Cd_{3}As_{2} has attracted intensive research interest as an archetypical Dirac semimetal, hosting three-dimensional linear-dispersive electronic bands near the Fermi level. Previous studies have shown that single-crystalline Cd_{3}As_{2} has an anomalously low lattice thermal conductivity...
