Direct measurement of individual phonon lifetimes in the clathrate compound Ba7.81Ge40.67Au5.33

Direct measurement of individual phonon lifetimes in the clathrate compound Ba7.81Ge40.67Au5.33

Phonon lifetime is a fundamental parameter of thermal transport however its determination is challenging. Using inelastic neutron scattering and the neutron resonant spin-echo technique, Lory et al. determine the acoustic phonon lifetime in a single crystal of clathrate Ba7.81Ge40.67Au5.33.
