Thermal Transport Data for Crystals and Glasses from a Unified Theory

Raw data supporting a unified theory of heat conduction in ordered and disordered solids, as published in a 2019 paper by Michele Simoncelli of École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. The dataset contains the numerical data used to generate the figures in the associated research paper. It bridges the Peierls and Allen-Feldman theoretical limits for thermal conductivity.

Use Cases

• Validate the unified thermal transport equation based on the described theoretical framework.
• Benchmark computational predictions of thermal conductivity against the provided raw data.
• Study the intermediate regime where both anharmonicity and disorder are relevant, as mentioned in the description.
• Analyze thermal properties of thermoelectric materials with glass-like conductivity, as referenced in the paper application.

Strengths

• Data is directly linked to a peer-reviewed paper published on arXiv in 2019.
• The dataset supports a novel theoretical framework that unifies heat conduction models for crystals and glasses.
• Author affiliation is explicitly stated as École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from the associated paper.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
