In equilibrium, the phonon population is determined by:
(i) Bose-Einstein statistics and
(ii) Dispersion relations

Each phonon mode transports energy, and therefore has an associated thermal current.
This current is determined entirely by the dispersion relations.

Single-phonon currents are unchanged, but population is no longer Bose-Einstein-like.

Calculating is hard.Ni(~k)
Need to solve PBE for all normal and umklapp processes, for all phonon modes.
Then, you integrate the resulting 4D object to compare to a scalar.

Wait! Measuring is not so hard.
The 1-phonon “thermal diffuse scattering” cross-section measures it directly.

The punchline:
I propose that the flowing equilibrium distribution function for phonons can be measured directly via diffuse x-ray scattering.
X-rays should therefore be the premier probe of lattice thermal conductivity, at least in principle.

Debye temperature in diamond is very high.
Primarily, a ball of acoustic phonons around the BZ
center are thermally populated

That’s encouraging, but not conclusive.
Potentially spurious due to mechanical instabilities, rigid rotations, etc.
Need to map the effect throughout a BZ, relative to a Bragg peak, to be sure.

Conclusions
- Phonon thermal currents leave a distinct signature in the diffuse x-ray scattering, both in theory and demonstrated
as proof of concept.
-In principle, diffuse scattering maps can allow the extraction of a momentum-dependent thermal conductivity
-This could potentially provide massively more information than conventional conductivity measurements
