Abstract

The thermal conductivity κ of heavily deformed LiF crystals has been measured at temperatures T ≥ 0.5 K following exposure of the samples to γ irradiation. The results are in agreement with recent measurements of ballistic phonon propagation in similar samples at an equivalent temperature of ≈ 4 K. A fraction of the phonons have a mean free path of order 1 cm in the heavily deformed crystal, and γ-irradiation increases the fraction having a long mean free path. The measurements support a dynamic (as opposed to static) model of phonon-dislocation interaction.
