Phonons can scatter through several mechanisms as they travel through the material. These scattering mechanisms are: Umklapp phonon-phonon scattering, phonon-impurity scattering, phonon-electron scattering, and phonon-boundary scattering. Each scattering mechanism can be characterised by a relaxation rate 1/ which is the inverse of the corresponding relaxation time. All scattering processes can be taken into account using Matthiessen's rule. Then the combined relaxation time can be written as: :, , , are due to Umklapp scattering, mass-difference impurity scattering, boundary scattering and phonon-electron scattering, respectively. ==Phonon-phonon scattering== For phonon-phonon scattering, effects by normal processes (processes which conserve the phonon wave vector - N processes) are ignored in favor of Umklapp processes (U processes). Since normal processes vary linearly with and umklapp processes vary with , Umklapp scattering dominates at high frequency. is given by: : where is Gruneisen anharmonicity parameter, μ is shear modulus, V0 is volume per atom and is Debye frequency. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Phonon scattering」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
