temperature.
It is well known that temperature can have a marked impact on the sensitivities of
energetic materials [63]. With variation over relatively small temperature ranges, two
mechanisms can be proposed for the effect of temperature on the models presented
in this thesis:
1. Induce a change in the phonon bath populations, and
