  2. Contents • Review of Thermal Conductivity -Insulator -Metal • Unusual Data for Thermal Conductivity • Magnon - Definition - Thermal Conductivity from Magnon • More Data for Magnon’s Thermal Conductivity • Summary

  3. General Behavior of Thermal Conductivity (Insulator) v is const. assumed from Debye model. At high T (D) .. Interactions among phonons are dominant - l  T-1 ; C = const. =>   T-1 At intermediate T .. - l  exp(T*/T); C decreases as T goes down and  T3 where T*= a fraction of the Debye Temp. D =>   exp(T*/T) At low T ( << D) .. - l = const. (depending on the shape and size of the specimen) C  T3 =>   T3 R. Berman, Thermal Conduction in Solids, 1976. Chap 3.

  4. General Behavior of Thermal Conductivity (Metal) • Wiedemann-Franz-Lorenz law At high T ( TF ) .. Interactions among phonons are dominant - l  T-1 ; C  T. =>  = const At intermediate T .. - l increases ; C decreases as T goes down =>   T-2 At low T (~1 to ~100 K << TF) .. - l = const. (depending on the imperfections) C  T =>   T R. Berman Thermal Conduction in Solids, 1976. Chap 3.

Unusual Thermal ConductivityT.Lorenz, Nature 418,614 (2002) Bachgaard Salt ..Magnetic insulator No electron’s contribution Phonon contribution acoustic ..Tmax << D = 60K optical .. 0.1~0.2W/Km Magnetic Excitation (Magnon)? Large magnetic exchange interaction (J ~ 500 K) Dominating contribution at high T (J >> D)

  8. Comparison with phonon Magnon Phonon • Density of state • Energy of crystal vibration • Thermal equilibrium occupancy • Energy of each phonon hω • Total energy • Density of modes • Energy of a mode • Number of magnons excited in the mode k • Energy of each magnon excited • Total energy

  9. Explanation for the TC in 1-D systems Debye model for magnon scattering where x=/kBT, and Each ls,i represents an independent channel including spinon phonon scattering, spinon defect scattering .. Debye model for phonon scattering where Each p,i represents an independent channel such as Boundary, Point defects, Phonon-phonon, dislocation, resonance scattering
