... to treat. The MC method cannot be directly implemented to solve the BTE for phonon transport since phonon-phonon interactions must be included in the simulation of phonon transport. Phonon-phonon scattering processes and phonon relaxation times or lifetimes are essential for phonon transport modeling. Only...
