- Recently, Indian researchers discovered a rare particle-to-wave-like phonon heat transport mechanism in Tl₂AgI₃.
- Tl₂AgI₃ is a zero-dimensional inorganic metal halide crystal made of Thallium (Tl), Silver (Ag), and Iodine (I).
- It was developed by the researchers at Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research.
- Due to Pauling’s third rule–driven cation–cation repulsion, the structure becomes distorted and traps phonons.
- The material shows ultralow thermal conductivity and can be used in thermal insulators and thermoelectric materials.
