Report by BC Professor of Physics David Broido and international colleagues confirm high thermal conductivity predicted for isotopically enriched cubic boron nitride Research by Professor of Physics ...

The crucial insight is that the phonons that are responsible for the lattice component of the thermal conductivity typically have longer mean free paths than the electrons in thermoelectric materials.

Cast iron Brittle if thin, can be cast in a mould, strong compression strength, good electrical and thermal conductivity but poor resistance to corrosion Manhole covers, pans and gates ...
