Description

The thermal conductivity, κ, of metal oxides ATaWO6 (A = K, Rb, Cs) with β-pyrochlore structure was investigated in terms of the "rattling" motion of the smaller A cations, which is expected to scatter phonons effectively. Interestingly, the κ values are lower for the oxides containing the lighter A cations, obviously contradicting the conventional prediction of the phonon thermal conductivity. Moreover, the κ values observed for KTaWO6 were virtually the same as the theoretically predicted minimum thermal conductivity, κmin. These results strongly suggest that the phonon scattering in the oxide would really be maximized by the rattling motion of K+ in the cage.
