Phonon transport across a Si–Ge interface: The role of inelastic bulk scattering

Understanding phonon transport across heterojunctions is important to achieve a wide range of thermal transport properties. Using the McKelvey-Shockley flux method with first-principles modeling, we theoretically investigate the phonon transport properties of a Si–Ge interface with a focus on the ro...
