Abstract Lattice thermal conductivity (LTC) of cadmium arsenide (CdAs) is studied over a wide temperature range (1-400 K) by employing the Callaway model. The acoustic phonons are considered to be the major carriers of heat and to be scattered by the sample boundaries, disorder, impurities, and other phonons via both Umklapp and normal phonon processes. Numerical calculations of LTC of CdAs bring out the relative importance of the scattering mechanisms. Our systematic analysis of recent experimental data on thermal conductivity (TC) of CdAs samples of different groups, presented in terms of LTC, , using a nonlinear regression method, reveals good fits to the TC data of the samples considered for K, and suggests a value of 0.2 for the Gruneisen parameter. It is, however, found that for K the inclusion of the electronic component of TC, , incorporating contributions from relevant electron scattering mechanisms, is needed to obtain good agreement with the TC data over the wide temperature range. More detailed investigations of TC of CdAs are required to better understand its suitability in thermoelectric and thermal management devices.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
