... The heating of simple geometric objects dipped into an isothermal bath has been analysed under simple approximations in order to estimate the time evolution of the temperature. Our method succeeds in identifying an important dimensionless parameter, the Fourier modulus (equation (10)), which summari ...

... atoms). The number density of impurity atoms is 8.5x1025 m-3. Assuming that σ imp is just the geometric cross-section of a typical atom, about 5x10–20 m2, the mean free path for impurity scattering would be 235 nm. Thus, at room temperature scattering by phonons is much more important than by impuri ...

Thermal conductivity

In physics, thermal conductivity (often denoted k, λ, or κ) is the property of a material to conduct heat. It is evaluated primarily in terms of Fourier's Law for heat conduction.Heat transfer occurs at a lower rate across materials of low thermal conductivity than across materials of high thermal conductivity. Correspondingly, materials of high thermal conductivity are widely used in heat sink applications and materials of low thermal conductivity are used as thermal insulation. The thermal conductivity of a material may depend on temperature. The reciprocal of thermal conductivity is called thermal resistivity.Thermal conductivity is actually a tensor, which means it is possible to have different values in different directions. See #Thermal anisotropy below.
