Lower limit to the lattice thermal conductivity of nanostructured Bi2Te3-based materials

Abstract: We investigate the lower limit to the lattice thermal conductivity of Bi2Te3 and related materials using thin films synthesized by the method of elemental reactants. The thermal conductivities of single layer films of (Bi0.5Sb0.5)2Te3 and multilayer films of (Bi2Te3)m(TiTe2)n and [(BixSb1−x)2Te3]m(TiTe2)n are measured by time-domain thermoreflectance; the thermal conductivity data are compared to our prior work on nanocrystalline Bi2Te3 and a Debye–Callaway model of heat transport by acoustic phonons. The homo… Show more

“…The magnitude of the umklapp scattering rate prefactor inferred from parameter a was comparable to that found from previous DCA fits to Bi 2 Te 3 materials. 17 The point defect parameter b (∼9 × 10 −3 ) found from the present fit was between that expected for isotope scattering (b∼8×10 −5 , a negligible contribution) and an upper limit to alloy disorder in (Bi,Sb) 2 Te 3 compounds (b∼0.3). 17 For disordered point defects involving two different species, b = x(1−x)(γ mass + γ bond ), where x is the concentration of defects.…”

“…(1) were included for longitudinal (L) and transverse (T) phonons by assuming different γ , θ , and v. The values γ L = 1, γ T = 0.7, θ L = 96 K, θ T = 62 K, v L = 2840 m/s, and v T = 1590 m/s were taken from Ref. 17. While θ used for the calculation was different from the polycrystalline averaged D determined from low T calorimetry, 25 we used the values from Ref.…”

“…Расчеты по методу молекулярной динамики с использованием клас-сических межатомных потенциалов дали значения κ ph в плоскости скола 2.4 [7] и 1.3 Вт/мК [8]. В [9] было экспериментально получено сильное снижение тепло-проводности (до 0.2−0.31 Вт/мК) в наноструктурирован-ных тонких пленках твердых растворов Bi 2 Te 3 −Sb 2 Te 3 . Расчеты в рамках модели Дебая−Каллавея в [9] дали хорошее согласие с экспериментом при условии ис-пользования более низких значений температур Дебая 96 и 62 K для продольных и поперечных акустических мод, полученных из расчетов фононного спектра [7], по сравнению с часто используемым значением 155.5 K [4], соответствующим всему диапазону частот фононных мод.…”

“…Схожий вывод был сделан и в работе [11], где спектр и фонон-фононные взаимо-действия описывались из первых принципов. С другой стороны, оценки в рамках модели Дебая−Каллавея предсказывают сильное снижение теплопроводности при больших размерах зерен [9]. Оценки влияния рассеяния на нановключениях с учетом нелинейности фононного спектра в твердых растворах Bi 2 Te 3 -Sb 2 Te 3 проводились также в [12,13].…”
