Phonons, electrons and thermal transport in Planckian high T c materials

Abstract The room-temperature thermal diffusivity of high T c materials is dominated by phonons. This allows the scattering of phonons by electrons to be discerned. We argue that the measured strength of this scattering suggests a converse Planckian scattering of electrons by phonons across the room...
