I am trying to calculate lattice thermal conductivity using Slack model. In Slack model the lattice thermal conductivity is proportional to (Debye temperature)^3.
Can I use the Debye temperature calculated from average sound velocity(Vm) in this slack model if I want to calculate the thermal conductivity at room temperature?...
I am using castep for my calculations and the phonon calculation to find thermodynamic properties is computationally very costly. Are there any other ways?
