Abstract
The self-consistent reservoir (SCR) model of lattice thermal conductivity is combined with the quantum Langevin equation formulation of Ford, Kac, and Mazur to obtain a quantum SCR model for lattice conductivity. Application is made to simple cubic monatomic lattices with harmonic nearest-neighbor interactions. A general expression for the thermal conductivity is obtained, and its high- and low-temperature limits examined.
