This competition between electrons and the heat carriers in the lattice (phonons) is the key factor in determining not only whether a material is a good heat conductor or not, but also the temperature dependence of thermal conductivity. In fact, Eq. (4.40) can be written for either thermal conduction via electrons, k, or thermal conduction via phonons, kp, where the mean free path corresponds to either electrons or phonons, respectively. For pure metals, kg/kp 30, so that electronic conduction dominates. This is because the mean free path for electrons is 10 to 100 times higher than that of phonons, which more than compensates for the fact that C <, is only 10% of the total heat capacity at normal temperatures. In disordered metallic mixtures, such as alloys, the disorder limits the mean free path of both the electrons and the phonons, such that the two modes of thermal conductivity are more similar, and kg/kp 3. Similarly, in semiconductors, the density of free electrons is so low that heat transport by phonon conduction dominates.

Fortunately, they are several species of low-loss dielectric ceramics with tailored temperature coefficient of dielectric constant, which can be made lower than 1 ppm/K for a certain temperature window around room temperature. Physically, this can be accomplished either by intrinsic compensation of the temperature dependence of thermal volume expansion V(T) and lattice polarizability a(T) via the Clausius-Mossotti relation ...

Intense research has in recent years been devoted to noncrystalline materials. It was discovered also that the majority of semiconducting boron-rich borides display several properties that resemble those of the noncrystalline solids. Among the amorphous properties are the temperature and field dependencies of electrical conductivity at low temperature, the temperature dependence of thermal conductivity at high temperatures, and the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility. In addition, the boron-rich semiconductors display crystalline properties, for example, the temperature dependence of the thermal condnctivity at low temperatures, the lattice absorption spectra and the possibility to change...

The temperature dependence of thermal conductivity for liquids, metal alloys, and nonconducting solids is more complicated than those mentioned above. Because of these complexities, the temperature dependence of thermal conductivity for a number of materials, as illustrated in Fig. 1,11, does not show a uniform trend. Typical ranges for the thermal conductivity of these materials are given in Table 1.1, We now proceed to a discussion of the foundations of convective and radiative heat transfer. 

In principle, the reaction cross section not only depends on the relative translational energy, but also on individual reactant and product quantum states. Its sole dependence on E in the simplified effective expression (equation (A3,4,82)) already implies unspecified averages over reactant states and sums over product states. For practical purposes it is therefore appropriate to consider simplified models for the energy dependence of the effective reaction cross section. They often form the basis for the interpretation of the temperature dependence of thermal cross sections. Figure A3.4.5 illustrates several cross section models.
