Tuning network topology and vibrational mode localization to achieve ultralow thermal conductivity in amorphous chalcogenides
The reduction in thermal conductivity is usually achieved by increasing the scattering rate or localization of heat carriers. Here, the authors propose a mechanism to suppress the thermal transport in amorphous systems such as SiTe binary alloys via tailoring the cross-linking network between the at...
