Heat transport, from carriers to materials

These lecture notes examine how thermal energy is stored and transported by conduction in natural and fabricated structures. The treatment begins with phonons and electrons, then uses the Landauer framework to describe heat flow in solids. Topics include the quantum of thermal conductance, ballistic interface resistance and carrier scattering. The discussion also connects particle transport theories to bulk thermal and electrical conductivity, before considering how spatial confinement affects material properties. The book’s scope links foundational carrier-level explanations with questions about measurable behavior in solid-state materials, giving the subject a clear progression from microscopic transport to larger-scale properties.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students or researchers studying condensed-matter physics and solid-state transport
  • Readers seeking a technical treatment of phonons, electrons, and heat conduction
  • Those interested in how spatial confinement affects thermal and electrical properties

Book overview

These lecture notes provide a detailed treatment of the thermal energy storage and transport by conduction in natural and fabricated structures. Thermal energy in two carriers, i.e. phonons and electrons -- are explored from first principles. For solid-state transport, a common Landauer framework is used for heat flow. Issues including the quantum of thermal conductance, ballistic interface resistance, and carrier scattering are elucidated. Bulk material properties, such as thermal and electrical conductivity, are derived from particle transport theories, and the effects of spatial confinement on these properties are established.
