Thermal Conductivity

It has been almost thirty years since the publication of a book that is entirely dedicated to the theory, description, characterization and measurement of the thermal conductivity of solids. The recent discovery of new materials which possess more complicated crystal structures and, thus, more complicated phonon scattering mechanism have brought innovative challenges to the theoretical and experimental understanding of these new materials. With the development of new and novel solid materials and extensive measurement techniques, Table Of Section I (Overview of Thermal Conductivity in Solid Materials) Theory of Thermal Conductivity (Jihui Yang) Thermal Conductivity of Metals (Ctirad Uher) Thermal Conductivity of Insulators and Glasses (Vladimir Murashov and Mary Anne White) Thermal Conductivity of Semiconducto
