Non-diffusive relaxation of a transient thermal grating analyzed with the Boltzmann transport equation

The relaxation of an one-dimensional transient thermal grating (TTG) in a medium with phonon-mediated thermal transport is analyzed within the framework of the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE), with the goal of extracting phonon mean free path (MFP) information from TTG measurements of non-diffusi...
