The role of acoustic phonon anharmonicity in determining thermal conductivity of CdSiP2 and AgGaS2: First principles calculations

Thermal conductivity of single-crystal materials is crucial in the fields of lasers and nonlinear optics. Understanding the physical mechanism of thermal conductivity in such systems is therefore of great importance. In the present work, first principles calculations were employed to study the therm...
