摘要
Proper consideration of anharmonicity is important for the calculation of thermal conductivity. However, how the anharmonicity influences the thermal conduction in amorphous materials is still an open question. In this work, we uncover the role of anharmonicity on the thermal conductivity of amorphous silica ($a\text{\ensuremath{-}}{\mathrm{SiO}}_{2}$) by comparing the thermal conductivity predicted from the harmonic theory and the anharmonic theory. Moreover, we explore the effect of anharmonicity-induced frequency shift on the prediction of thermal conductivity. It is found that the thermal conductivity calculated by the recently developed anharmonic theory (quasi-harmonic Green-Kubo approximation) is higher than that calculated by the harmonic theory developed by Allen and Feldman. The use of anharmonic vibrational frequencies also leads to a higher thermal conductivity compared with that calculated using harmonic vibrational frequencies. The anharmonicity-induced frequency shift is a mechanism for the positive temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity of $a\text{\ensuremath{-}}{\mathrm{SiO}}_{2}$ at higher temperatures. Further investigation on the mode diffusivity suggests that although anharmonicity has a larger influence on locons than diffusons, the increase in thermal conductivity due to anharmonicity is mainly contributed by the anharmonicity-induced increase of the diffusivity of diffusons. Finally, it is found that the cross-correlations between diffusons and diffusons contribute most to the thermal conductivity of $a\text{\ensuremath{-}}{\mathrm{SiO}}_{2}$, and the locons contribute to the thermal conductivity mainly through collaboration with diffusons. These results offer new insights into the nature of the thermal conduction in $a\text{\ensuremath{-}}{\mathrm{SiO}}_{2}$.
