Abstract

We present an analysis of acoustic-phonon propagation through long, free-standing, insulating wires with rough surfaces. Owing to a crossover from ballistic propagation of the lowest-frequency phonon mode at (Formula presented) to a diffusive (or even localized) behavior upon the increase of phonon frequency, followed by reentrance into the quasiballistic regime, the heat conductance of a wire acquires an intermediate tendency to saturate within the temperature range (Formula presented)
