Reconstruction of the phonon relaxation times using solutions of the Boltzmann transport equation

We present a method for reconstructing the phonon relaxation time distribution τ[subscript ω]=τ(ω) (including polarization) in a material from thermal spectroscopy data. The distinguishing feature of this approach is that it does not make use of the effective thermal conductivity concept and associa...
