26. Klitsner and Pohl argued that the majority of heat is transported by phonons of frequency I dom=(88.6GHzK-1)T. Using the velocity, vD, calculated from I D=487K gives Îdom=v/I dom=(504.3Ã)/T. Because these arguments are based on the Debye model, we use these calculations to describe the propagon contributions to k.
