Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="toc"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <graphic position="anchor" id="ga" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgj2b2x28f9" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" />Inelastic neutron scattering performed on powders and single crystals indicate that the glass-like thermal conductivity of tetrahedrite minerals originates from a strongly anharmonic low-energy vibrational mode related to the peculiar chemical environment of the Cu2 atoms.</p> </abstract>
