Abstract
The origins of the dramatic effect of some dopants on the thermal conductivity of semiconductors are studied. By analyzing the cases of B-doped 3C-SiC, B-doped diamond, N-doped diamond and a simple linear chain model, small symmetry breaking structural distortions and a high density of states are identified as the key ingredients in resonant phonon scattering.
