Abstract
Phonon scattering by static stress fields of circular wedge disclination loops is investigated in the framework of the deformation potential approach. Numerical calculations of the mean free path l and thermal conductivity κ demonstrate that the temperature dependence of κ exhibits a minimum at a certain temperature T* in the low-temperature range. The thermal conductivity κ sharply increases as T −3 with a decrease in temperature (T<T*) and exhibits a dislocation behavior (κ ∼ T 2) with an increase in temperature (T>T*). The results obtained for the wedge disclination loop are compared with the available data for uniaxial disclination dipoles. It is shown that the properties of uniaxial disclination dipoles serving as sources of phonon scattering are similar to those of wedge disclination loops.
