[lammps-users] Lattice Thermal Conductivity of Metals using MD

LAMMPS LAMMPS Mailing List Mirror

Hello,

I have been looking into thermal conductivity bulk metals like Copper using LAMMPS, however on doing some research I have found that the results will only show me thermal conductivity due to phonons and not include the electronic part. Is there any way to get the combined total thermal conductivity of copper using lammps?

Thank you,
Nafis.

Not really. LAMMPS is a classical MD code. It doesn’t compute any
electronic effects.
