Waves and particles
The eigen function solutions of the wave equation are plane waves. The scattering time is one over the rate for scattering from a given plane wave solution to any other.
Phonons are particles. The scattering time is the time before the phonons scatter and randomly change energy and momentum.
The average time between scattering events is sc = 1/
p k

Phonon scattering
Scattering randomizes the momentum of the phonons.
Transition rates determined by Fermi's golden rule
Any process (3 phonon, 4 phonon, 5 phonon. ...) that conserves energy and momentum is allowed.

Heat transport (Kinetic theory)
Treat phonons as an ideal gas of particles that are confined to the volume of the solid.
Phonons move at the speed of sound. They scatter due to imperfections in the lattice and anharmonic terms in the Hamiltonian.
The average time between scattering events is sc
The average distance traveled between scattering events is the mean free path: l = vsc ~ 10 nm

Thermal conductivity Uj K T
Imperfections in the crystal or grain boundaries decrease the mean free path and the thermal conductivity.
At high temperatures, the mean free path is limited by Umklapp processes. At low temperatures the Umklapp processes freeze out and the mean free path is limited by imperfections.

Kittel, chapter 6
A simple model for a metal is electrons confined to box with periodic boundary conditions.
Like the problem of photons in a box except:Solve the Schrödinger equation instead of the wave equation.Electrons are fermions not bosons.
