Abstract:The lattice thermal conductivity of gadolinium monosulphide is studied by estimating the separate contributions due to transverse and longitudinal phonons in the temperature range 300 to 800 K and a very good agreement is found between calculated and experimental values. It is also reported that the transverse phonons are mainly responsible for the heat conduction in the present sample. The temperature exponents for the three phonon scattering relaxation rates is also reported for gadolinium monosulphide for t… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
