强键固体中的声子-声子相互作用:选择定则和高阶过程

Phonon-Phonon Interactions in Strongly Bonded Solids: Selection Rules and Higher-Order Processes

Navaneetha K. Ravichandran, David Broido

摘要:

我们发现,通常使用的最低阶理论的声子-声子相互作用往往不能准确地描述非谐声子衰减率和热导率($κ$),即使在强键合晶体。应用第一性原理理论,包括最低阶的三声子和高阶的四声子过程,十七个锌半导体,我们发现,最低阶的理论大大高估了许多这些材料的测量$κ$,而列入四声子散射给出显着改善的协议与测量。我们已经确定了新的选择规则的三声子过程,有助于解释许多这些失败的严重弱非谐声子衰减率预测的最低阶理论与四声子过程竞争。我们还发现,含有硼(B),碳(C)或氮(N)原子的锌化合物具有非常弱的四声子散射,比不含B,C或N原子的化合物弱得多。这一新的认识有助于解释几种技术上重要的材料如立方砷化硼、磷化硼和碳化硅中的杂质$κ$。同时,它不仅使得在没有B、C或N原子的材料中实现高$κ$的可能性变得不太可能,而且还表明在许多未来的研究中可能有必要包括四声子过程。我们的工作提供了新的见解固体中的非谐过程的性质,并证明了广泛的重要性,高阶声子-声子相互作用在评估材料的热性能。

英文摘要:

We show that the commonly used lowest-order theory of phonon-phonon interactions frequently fails to accurately describe the anharmonic phonon decay rates and thermal conductivity ($κ$), even among strongly bonded crystals. Applying a first principles theory that includes both the lowest-order three-phonon and the higher-order four-phonon processes to seventeen zinc blende semiconductors, we find that the lowest-order theory drastically overestimates the measured $κ$ for many of these materials, while inclusion of four-phonon scattering gives significantly improved agreement with measurements. We have identified new selection rules on three-phonon processes that help explain many of these failures in terms of anomalously weak anharmonic phonon decay rates predicted by the lowest-order theory competing with four-phonon processes. We also show that zinc blende compounds containing boron (B), carbon (C) or nitrogen (N) atoms have exceptionally weak four-phonon scattering, much weaker than in compounds that do not contain B, C or N atoms. This new understanding helps explain the ultrahigh $κ$ in several technologically important materials like cubic boron arsenide, boron phosphide and silicon carbide. At the same time, it not only makes the possibility of achieving high $κ$ in materials without B, C or N atoms unlikely, but it also suggests that it may be necessary to include four-phonon processes in many future studies. Our work gives new insights into the nature of anharmonic processes in solids and demonstrates the broad importance of higher-order phonon-phonon interactions in assessing the thermal properties of materials.
