This article provides a detailed theoretical characterisation of the thermal transport in Pnma SnS and SnSe, and builds on previous work on the Pnma Sn(S,Se) alloy system to develop and benchmarks a series of approximate models for the thermal conductivity of the Sn(S0.1875Se0.8125) alloy. This repository makes available a full set of data from these calculations, including:

* Data for the alloy model;
* Structures;
* Harmonic lattice-dynamics calculations; and
* Anharmonic lattice-dynamics and thermal-conductivity calculations.

The repository also contains sample input files for the Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package (VASP) code.
