Zincblende ZnTe

Forces and NAC params were calculated using VASP code. PBEsol, 500eV PW-cutoff, 2x2x2 supercell and 2x2x2 off-Gamma k-point mesh for supercells.

phono3py_params_ZnTe.yaml contains all needed information to calculate thermal conductivity.

fc3.hdf5 and fc2.hdf5 are generated by

% phono3py-load phono3py_params_ZnTe.yaml

Lattice thermal conductivity at 300K is calculated as 46.5 W/m-K by

% phono3py-load phono3py_params_ZnTe.yaml --mesh 50 --br --ts 300

The 14x14x14 sampling mesh is chosen by --mesh 50.
