Umklapp scattering is not necessarily resistive

Since Peierls's pioneering work, it is generally accepted that phonon-phonon scattering processes consist of momentum-conserving normal scatterings and momentum-destroying Umklapp scatterings, and that the latter always induce thermal resistance. We show in this work that Umklapp scatterings ar...
