Phonon conduction in PbSe, PbTe, and PbTe1−xSex from first-principles calculations

We apply first-principles calculations to lead selenide (PbSe) and lead telluride (PbTe) and their alloys (PbTe[subscript 1−x]Se[subscript x]), which are potentially good thermoelectric materials, to investigate their phonon transport properties. By accurately reproducing the lattice thermal conduct...
