Abstract

There has been a great deal of recent interest in the propagation of large wave-vector phonons. Much of the work has been stimulated by the observation by Ulbrich, Narayanamurti and Chin [1] of energy transport in high purity GaAs, via dispersive large wave-vector TA phonons which possess a long lifetime against anharmonic decay [2]. The long energy relaxation time of zone boundary TA phonons has since been confirmed experimentally through Raman scattering [3] and X-ray scattering [4] experiments.
