What is The Origin of the Glass-like Thermal Conductivity in Crystalline Metal-Organic Frameworks about?

It is textbookly regarded that phonons, i.e., an energy quantum of propagating lattice waves, are the main heat carriers in perfect crystals. As a result, in many crystals, e.g., bulk silicon, the temperature-dependent thermal conductivity shows the classical 1/T relationship because of the dominant Umklapp phonon-phonon scattering in the systems. However, the thermal conductivity of many crystalline metal-organic frameworks is very low and shows no, a weakly negative and even a weakly positive temperature dependence (glass-like thermal conductivity). It has been in debate whether the thermal transport can be still described by phonons in metal-organic frameworks. Here, by studying two typical systems, i.e., crystal zeolitic imidazolate framework-4 (cZIF-4) and crystal zeolitic imidazolate framework-62 (c-ZIF62), we prove that the ultralow thermal conductivity in metal-organic frameworks is resulting from the strong phonon intrinsic structure scattering due to the large mass difference and the large cavity between Zn and N atoms. Our mean free path spectrum analysis shows that both propagating and non-propagating anharmonic vibrational modes exist in the systems, and contribute lar
