Temperature- and vacancy-concentration-dependence of heat transport in Li3ClO from multi-method numerical simulations

Federico Grasselli, Paolo Pegolo

Despite governing heat management in any realistic device, the microscopic mechanisms of heat transport in all-solid-state electrolytes are poorly known: existing calculations, all based on simplistic semi-empirical models, are unreliable for superionic co ...
