Investigation of the mechanisms of heat conduction in dielectrics and metals on the basis of the molecular-radiation theory of transfer

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

The activation mechanisms of transfer of a substance in condensed media are described. Analytical expressions defining the dependences of the electron, photon, and diffusion heat conductivity on the temperature, density, and microscopic characteristics of these media are presented. The temperature dependence of the density of free electrons in conductors was obtained. The results of a comparison of theoretical and experimental data are presented.
