Reconstruction of phonon relaxation times from systems featuring interfaces with unknown properties

We present a method for reconstructing the phonon relaxation-time function τ[subscript ω]=τ(ω) (including polarization) and associated phonon free-path distribution from thermal spectroscopy data for systems featuring interfaces with unknown properties. Our method does not rely on the effective ther...
