Microscopic mechanism of unusual lattice thermal transport in TlInTe2

Abstract We investigate the microscopic mechanism of ultralow lattice thermal conductivity (κ l) of TlInTe2 and its weak temperature dependence using a unified theory of lattice heat transport, that considers contributions arising from the particle-like propagation as well as wave-like tunneling of...
