Additionally, the locally adaptive Gaussian approximation for the delta function and the method for studying nanowires used by ShengBTE was developed in the reference:

@article{PhysRevB.85.195436,

The symmetrisation of the 3rd-order force constants in thirdorder.py employs the Lagrange multiplier method developed in:

@article{PhysRevB.86.174307,

author={Wu Li and Lucas Lindsay and David A. Broido and Derek A. Stewart and Natalio Mingo},

title={Thermal conductivity of bulk and nanowire Mg${}_{2}$Si${}_{x}$Sn${}_{1$-${}x}$ alloys from first principles},
