Abstract
In the theory of solids the thermal expansion and the conduction properties are topics which impinge on each other. A major component of the thermal expansion can be attributed to the anharmonic components of the interatomic forces. This anharmonicity gives rise also to the interchange of energy amongst the normal modes. The strength of this interaction enters explicitly into the conduction processes involving lattice waves, and some of the information needed to estimate anharmonic interaction rates is obtained from thermal expansion.
