AbstractSelection rules act to restrict the intrinsic anharmonic interactions between phonons in all crystals. Yet their influence on phonon propagation is hidden in most materials and so, hard to interrogate experimentally. Using ab initio calculations, we show that the otherwise invisible impact of selection rules on three-phonon scattering can be exposed through anomalous signatures in the pressure (P) and temperature (T) dependence of the thermal conductivities, κ, of certain compounds. Boron phosphide reveals such underlying behavior through an exceptionally sharp initial rise in κ with increasing P, which may be the steepest of any material, and also a peak and decrease in κ at high P. These features are in stark contrast to the measured behavior for many solids, and they occur at experimentally accessible conditions. These findings give a deep understanding of phonon lifetimes and heat conduction in solids, and motivate experimental efforts to observe the predicted behavior.

Zinc Blende Structure

Most of the papers in this symposium have dealt with superlattices formed from semiconductors with the diamond or zinc blende structure or derivative structures such as fluorite in which one sublattice has the diamond structure. Such superlattices are often called compositionally modulated alloys (CMA) because the two components have the same or related structures and because the two components have some mutual solubility. In these cases, depending on the differences in the lattice parameters, the resulting CMA will be almost a perfect single crystal, and the sharpness of the interfaces between the two alternating components will depend on the amount of interdiffusion during growth.
