Thermal-Resistivity Anisotropy of Zinc and Cadmium

Abstract
The Mannari-Ziman-Baym theory has been used to calculate the phonon-limited thermal resistivity of hexagonal metals in the two symmetry directions. This calculation introduces an inelastic contribution peculiar to anisotropic metals. A numerical computation using empirical form factors and experimental phonon spectra shows that this term could explain the low-temperature behavior of zinc.
