Heat transport by phonons and magnons in crystals due to a local perturbation in temperature is described by the Boltzmann transport equation. In this project a one phonon one magnon system was studied in a one dimensional rod with reflective boundaries. Using the splitting algorithm the problem was reduced to a transport and collision term. The resulting stabilization time for a initial phonon and magnon distribution and the respective temperatures at equilibrium was calculated. This study shows how energy propagates in crysials and gives further understanding of how the coupling of phonons and magnons affect heat transport.
