phonon phonon scattering

What is Phonon-Phonon Scattering?

Phonon-phonon scattering is a fundamental process in which two phonons interact and scatter off each other. This process is crucial in understanding the thermal and vibrational properties of materials, particularly at the nanoscale. Phonons are quantized modes of vibrations occurring in a crystalline lattice, and their interactions can significantly impact material properties such as thermal conductivity.
