Thermal Conductivity of Solids at Low Temperatures

  • Chapter
Low Temperature Physics I / Kältephysik I

Part of the book series: Encyclopedia of Physics / Handbuch der Physik ((HDBPHYS,volume 3 / 14))

Abstract

The most important mechanisms of heat transfer in solids are transfer by the lattice waves and transfer by the conduction electrons, and consequently the materials to be studied are broadly divided into three groups: (i) non-metals, where transfer is only by lattice waves, (ii) metals, where transfer is mainly by the conduction electrons and lattice conduction, though present, is unimportant, and (iii) alloys and other badly conducting metallic solids, where the electronic conductivity is so small that both processes are important.
