Heat conduction and energy diffusion in momentum-conserving one-dimensional full-lattice ding-a-ling model

Abstract

The ding-a-ling model is a kind of half lattice and half hard-point-gas (HPG) model. The original ding-a-ling model proposed by Casati et al. does not conserve total momentum and has been found to exhibit normal heat conduction behavior. Recently, a modified ding-a-ling model which conserves total momentum has been studied and normal heat conduction has also been claimed. In this work, we propose a full-lattice ding-a-ling model without hard point collisions where total momentum is also conserved. We investigate the heat conduction and energy diffusion of this full-lattice ding-a-ling model with three different nonlinear inter-particle potential forms. For symmetrical potential lattices, the thermal conductivities diverges with lattice length and their energy diffusions are superdiffusive signaturing anomalous heat conduction. For asymmetrical potential lattices, although the thermal conductivity seems to converge as the length increases, the energy diffusion is definitely deviating from normal diffusion behavior indicating anomalous heat conduction as well. No normal heat conduction behavior can be found for the full-lattice ding-a-ling model.

High Thermoelectric Performance in Two-Dimensional Tellurium: An Ab Initio Study

“…A high-order (≥ 3) scattering of phonons leads to a limited κ L . 58,59 Figure 3b shows the intrinsic κ L computed with both non-iterative and iterative method from 100 K to 700 K. We note that both methods give similar trends of κ L in the whole temperature range. However, the iterative method always gives values of κ L higher than the non-iterative method at the same temperature.…”

Insight into Two-Dimensional Borophene: Five-Center Bond and Phonon-Mediated Superconductivity

“…The Grüneisen parameter γ, in Figure a, shows volume response as a function of phonon thermal vibration in super-B. A large γ means a strong anharmonicity in chemical bonds of materials. ,, The largest value of γ is around −30, belonging to the ZA mode in the black line. The secondary is the O z branch in blue line having an average value of −10.…”
