Effect of the 15N Isotope on the Lattice Thermal Conductivity of Cubic Boron Nitride
摘要
Abstract
We present an improved theoretical model for the lattice thermal conductivity of binary compounds, grounded in the latest understanding of phonon scattering mechanisms. The model enables quantitative evaluation of the effects of temperature and isotopic composition on thermal transport. It shows excellent agreement with available experimental and computational data for cubic boron nitride (cBN). Using this framework, we analyze for the first time the influence of 15N isotope concentration on the thermal conductivity of cBN.
