In this study we present a thorough examination of phonon properties which dominate energy storage and transport in $\\alpha$RDX. The phonon lifetimes are determined for all phonon branches, revealing the characteristic time scale of energy transfer amongst phonon modes. The phonon parameters also serve as inputs to a full Brillouin zone three dimensional phonon transport simulation in the presence of a hotspot. In addition to identifying the phonon mode contributions to thermal transport, and as N-N bond breaking is integral to disassociation, we identify phonon modes corresponding to large N-N bond stretch analyzing the manner in which these modes store and transfer energy.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1808.08295v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/1808.08295v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"a-phonon-boltzmann-study-of-microscale","repo_url":"https://github.com/delton137/PhononSED","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
