SrTiO3​ has been extensively investigated owing to its abundant degrees of
freedom for modulation. However, the microscopic mechanism of thermal transport
especially the relationship between phonon scattering and lattice distortion
during the phase transition are missing and unclear. Based on deep-potential
molecular dynamics and self-consistent \textit{ab initio} lattice dynamics, we
explore the lattice anharmonicity-induced tetragonal-to-cubic phase transition
and explain this anomalous behavior during the phase transition. Our results
indicate the significant role of the renormalization of third-order interatomic
force constants to second-order terms. Our work provides a robust framework for
evaluating the thermal transport properties during structural transformation,
benefitting the future design of promising thermal and phononic materials and
devices
