Unifying first-principles theoretical predictions and experimental measurements of size effects in thermal transport in SiGe alloys

We demonstrate the agreement between first-principles calculations and experimental measurements of size effects in thermal transport in SiGe alloys without fitting parameters. Transient thermal grating (TTG) is used to measure the effect of the grating period on the temperature decay. The virtual c...
