On the importance of optical phonons to thermal conductivity in nanostructures

The contribution of optical phonons to thermal conductivity has typically been ignored. However, when the system size decreases to the nanoscale regime, optical phonons are no longer negligible. In this study, the contributions of different phonon polarizations to the thermal conductivity of silicon...
