Unearthing the foundational role of anharmonicity in heat transport in glasses

Paolo Pegolo

The time-honored Allen -Feldman theory of heat transport in glasses is generally assumed to predict a finite value for the thermal conductivity, even if it neglects the anharmonic broadening of vibrational normal modes. We demonstrate that the harmonic app ...
