Optic phonons and anisotropic thermal conductivity in hexagonal Ge(2)Sb(2)Te(5)

The lattice thermal conductivity (κ) of hexagonal Ge(2)Sb(2)Te(5) (h-GST) is studied via direct first-principles calculations. We find significant intrinsic anisotropy (κ(a)/κ(c)~2) of κ in bulk h-GST, with the dominant contribution to κ from optic phonons, ~75%. This is extremely unusual as the aco...
