Thermal Conductivity of Cage-Like Structures

A two dimensional toy model is developed to study thermal transport in cage like structures such a skutterudites and clathrates. The model consists of host atoms on a rectangular lattice with fillers in the center of each rectangle. The thermal conductivity is calculated by using Green-Kubo equilibr...
