From crystal to glass-like thermal conductivity in crystalline minerals.
The ability of some materials with a perfectly ordered crystal structure to mimic the heat conduction of amorphous solids is a remarkable physical property that finds applications in numerous areas of materials science, for example, in the search for more efficient thermoelectric materials that enable to directly convert heat into electricity. Here, we unveil the mechanism in which glass-like t...
متن کاملWhy do I like people like me?
In many dimensions the ability to assess knowledge depends critically on the observer's own knowledge of that dimension. Building on this feature, this paper offers both theoretical and empirical evidence showing that, in those tasks where multidisciplinary knowledge is required, evaluations exhibit a similar-to-me effect: candidates who excel in the same dimensions as the evaluator tend to be ...
متن کاملWhy I like Chest Physicians
We all have our reasons, which may in some cases be weird and in others wonderful, but in my case its simply because the first two chest physicians I ever met, both gave me such excellent advice.
متن کاملA first-principles lattice dynamical study of type-I, type-II, and type-VIII silicon clathrates
The pristine crystalline type-I, type-II, and type-VIII silicon clathrates have been studied using state of the art first-principles calculations based on density functional theory and density functional perturbation theory. We apply quasi-harmonic approximation to study structural stability, the possibility of temperature or pressuredriven phase transitions, along with Grüneisen parameters, co...
متن کاملStructural properties and thermal conductivity of crystalline Ge clathrates
Structural analysis and thermal conductivity data on Sr8Ga16Ge30 and Eu8Ga16Ge30 crystals are reported. These compounds form in the cubic space group Pm 3̄n with lattice parameters of 10.721~2! and 10.703~2! Å respectively. Single-crystal x-ray diffraction and structural refinement indicate that the randomly distributed Ga and Ge atoms form a tetrahedrally bonded three-dimensional net in whose c...
