From kinetic to collective behavior in thermal transport on semiconductors and semiconductor nanostructures

We present a model which deepens into the role that normal scattering has on the thermal conductivity in semiconductor bulk, micro, and nanoscale samples. Thermal conductivity as a function of the temperature undergoes a smooth transition from a kinetic to a collective regime that depends on the imp...
