Estimate of the radiative thermal conductivity of conducting media at high temperatures

Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

The radiative diffusion method is used to obtain an equation to calculate the radiative thermal conductivity of a conducting medium from the values of its resistivity, temperature, and refractive index. It is shown that for semiconducting materials with high resistivity (∼ 10−3Ω ·m) the radiative heat transfer compared to the other heat-transfer mechanisms is significant even at room temperature.
