Phonon relaxation time reconstruction from transient thermal grating experiments and comparison with density functional theory predictions

Phonon relaxation time and free path distributions are reconstructed from experimental measurements on a two-dimensional transient thermal grating and compared with density functional theory (DFT) results for silicon. The reconstruction is performed using the inverse problem formulation of Forghani...
