  • Published:
Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

The available experimental data on the effect of isotope disorder on the thermal conductivity of solids are summarized. Particular attention is paid to analysis of recent data on the thermal conductivity of monoisotopic silicon, which are compared with earlier results and theoretical estimates of the isotope effect in silicon.
