The theoretical lattice thermal conductivity of ZrC was 68 W·m −1 ·K −1 at room temperature. When adding 3.125 and 6.25 at% Hf into ZrC, the lattice thermal conductivities decreased to 18 and 15 W·m −1 ·K −1, respectively. The mechanism for the decreased conductivity is that with the addition of Hf impurities, the frequency of the ...
