Thermal transport crossover from crystalline to partial-crystalline partial-liquid state

Phase-change materials are applied as thermoelectric converters and battery electrodes, but underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, the authors comprehensively describe thermal transport mechanisms of lithium sulfide based on molecular dynamics and first-principles simulations.
