Lattice thermal conductivities of two SiO$_2$ polymorphs, i.e., $\alpha$-quartz (low) and $\alpha$-cristobalite (low), were studied using first-principles anharmonic phonon calculation and linearized phonon Boltzmann transport equation. Although $\alpha$-quartz and $\alpha$-cristobalite have similar phonon densities of states, phonon frequency dependencies of phonon group velocities and lifetimes are dissimilar, which results in …
