Herein, we study the lattice dynamics and thermal property of AgX under the framework of perturbation theory and the two-channel Wigner thermal transport model based on accurate machine learning potentials. We find that an accurate extraction of the third-order atomic force constants from largely displaced configurations is significant for the calculation of the κL of AgX, and the coherence thermal transport is also non-negligible. In AgI, however, the calculated κL still considerably overestimates the experimental values even including four-phonon scatterings. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using machine learning potential suggest an important role of the higher-than-fourth-order lattice anharmonicity in the low-frequency phonon linewidths of AgI at room temperature, which can be related to the simultaneous restrictions of the three- and four-phonon phase spaces. The κL of AgI calculated using MD phonon lifetimes including full-order lattice anharmonicity shows a better agreement with experiments.","lang":"eng"}],"department":[{"_id":"BiCh"}],"issue":"17","date_published":"2023-11-01T00:00:00Z","publication_status":"published","date_updated":"2023-11-28T07:48:55Z","article_processing_charge":"No","month":"11","day":"01","type":"journal_article","project":[{"call_identifier":"H2020","grant_number":"101034413","name":"IST-BRIDGE: International postdoctoral program","_id":"fc2ed2f7-9c52-11eb-aca3-c01059dda49c"}],"acknowledgement":"This work is supported by the Research Grants Council of Hong Kong (Grants No. 17318122 and No. 17306721).
