How dopants limit the ultrahigh thermal conductivity of boron arsenide: a first principles study

Abstract The promise enabled by boron arsenide’s (BAs) high thermal conductivity (κ) in power electronics cannot be assessed without taking into account the reduction incurred when doping the material. Using first principles calculations, we determine the κ reduction induced by different group IV im...
