Re: How to calculate thermal conductivity

Dear Dr. Samuel Thank you for your reply. Yes. But I think it is possible to convert electrical conductivity to thermal conductivity (wiedemann-franz law?). I am working on Diamond and Pb examples and trying to learn to calculate sigma(e.conductivity). Is that correct if I follow the same method for ...

Re: How to calculate thermal conductivity

Dear Dr. Samuel It is sad to hear. I am not sure about phono3py also because it gives only phonon contribution. But for metallic systems electron contribution is the dominant. I know BoltzTrap code can calculate electrical conductivity in the units of tau (sigma/tau). Also I saw in your Lead example ...

How to calculate thermal conductivity

Dear all I just started my PhD and very new for EPW. I need to calculate thermal conductivity of metallic materials. I know only EPW can do that. I looked any examples for thermal conductivity calculation but failed to find. Can someone guide me on this please? Thanks for your time. I appreciate any ...
