Abstract
A new model for predicting the effective thermal conductivity of polycrystalline materials is presented. In contrast to existing models, our new model is based on the thin-interface description of grain boundaries (GBs) and treats GBs as an autonomous phase with its own thermal conductivity. This treatment allows the model to account for the effects of segregation/doping, interface structural/phase transition, and interface decohesion on the effective thermal conductivity. finite-element simulations were performed to validate the new model. The simulations proved its higher accuracy compared to existing models.
