What happens to the transmission function for phonons, at energy ħw, when SWCNTs contain defects?
In a cubic system with cell edge a, two phonons with wave vectors $${\overrightarrow {\bf{q}} _1}$$ and $${\overrightarrow {\bf{q}} _2}$$ collide and produce a third phonon with a wave. vector $${\overrightarrow {\bf{q}} _3}$$ such that $${\overrightarrow {\bf{q}} _1} + {\overrightarrow {\bf{q}} _2} = {\overrightarrow {\bf{q}} _3} + \overrightarrow {\bf{R}} $$    where, $$\overrightarrow {\bf{R}} $$ is a lattice vector. Such a collision process will lead to(a)
