Heat conduction theory including phonon coherence and its applications

Understanding and quantifying the fundamental physical property of coherence of thermal excitations is a long-standing and general problem in physics. The conventional theory, i.e., the phonon gas model, fails to describe coherence and its impact on thermal transport. Recently, we theoretically developed a generalized law for the decay of the phonon number taking into account coherence effects. Before the conventional exponential decay due to phonon-phonon scattering, this law introduces a delay proportional to the square of the coherence time. This additional regime leads to a moderate increase of the relaxation times and to a different depe ...
