Abstract
Advancements in phonon engineering have propelled the study of heat conduction within nanostructures, focusing on the wave nature of phonons for thermal conductivity manipulation. This work investigates the annealing-induced structural transformation of titanium–chromium oxide crystals, highlighting a role in modulating thermal conductivity through the regularization of crystallographic shear (CS) plane spacing. Utilizing high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy and selected-area electron diffraction, a transformation from disordered to ordered arrangements of CS planes was observed through annealing at high temperatures. The thermal conductivity increased following annealing. The variability observed in the spacing of CS planes before annealing implies that phonon Anderson localization might play a role in the changes in thermal conductivity.
期刊介绍:
Many research topics in condensed matter research, materials science and the life sciences make use of crystallographic methods to study crystalline and non-crystalline matter with neutrons, X-rays and electrons. Articles published in the Journal of Applied Crystallography focus on these methods and their use in identifying structural and diffusion-controlled phase transformations, structure-property relationships, structural changes of defects, interfaces and surfaces, etc. Developments of instrumentation and crystallographic apparatus, theory and interpretation, numerical analysis and other related subjects are also covered. The journal is the primary place where crystallographic computer program information is published.
