Model for the thermal conductivity of a quasicrystalline alloy
Abstract
We present a simple model for the observed temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity of AlPdMn (Chernikov et al, Phys.Rev.B vol.51, (1995),153). We account for the low temperature data, upto and including the plateau of the thermal conductivity, and discuss the similarities and the differences between the quasicrystal and amorphous solids.
