Breaking Rayleigh’s Law with Spatially Correlated Disorder to Control Phonon Transport

Controlling thermal transport in insulators and semiconductors is crucial for many technological fields such as thermoelectrics and thermal insulation, for which a low thermal conductivity (?) is desirable. A major obstacle for realizing low ? materials is Rayleigh’s law, which implies that acoustic…
