Anisotropic Phonon Scattering and Thermal Transport Property Induced by the Liquid-like Behavior of AgCrSe2

Superionic conductors exhibiting a periodic crystalline lattice and liquid-like ionic conductivity have emerged as promising materials in energy-conversion devices. Herein, we have investigated the interplay among anharmonic lattice dynamics, thermal conduction, and ultrafast atomic diffusion across the superionic transition of AgCrSe2. We show that the thermal conductivity (κ) contributions from convection and conduction-convection interactions increase simultaneously due to the gradual fluidization of Ag atoms, leading to a temperature-independent κ in the superionic state. We demonstrate a non-Peierls type thermal transport behavior induced by the strong lattice anharmonicity of Ag atoms, which promotes a nontrivial wave-like phonon tunneling in the normal state of AgCrSe2. Our current fluctuation analysis demonstrates an anisotropic phonon-liquid scattering behavior that the in-plane nondispersive transverse acoustic (TA) phonons near the zone boundary collapse, while the zone center and boundary TA phonons in the direction perpendicular to the liquid-like flow of Ag atoms survive.
