Abstract
The Boltzmann transport equation can be used to model phonon transport in crystalline materials across multiple length scales. The statistical phonon transport model solves the Boltzmann transport equation in a statistical framework that incorporates a state-based phonon transport methodology. The statistical phonon transport model captures the anisotropy of the first Brillouin zone in addition to nonlinear dispersion. Three-phonon scattering is implemented conserving both energy and pseudo-momentum with probability limits based exclusively on the relative phonon populations available.
