Effective carrier mean-free path in confined geometries
The properties of transport in confined geometries has received substantial attention in recent years (see, e.g., Ref. 1). In this letter, the effects of boundary scattering on transport in small samples is examined. Our goal is to provide concise expressions for the effect of boundaries on transport without explicitly evaluating the Boltzmann equation. We present analytical expressions for the...
متن کاملEffective viscosity of confined hydrocarbons.
We present molecular dynamics friction calculations for confined hydrocarbon films with molecular lengths from 20 to 1400 carbon atoms. We find that the logarithm of the effective viscosity η(eff) for nanometer-thin films depends linearly on the logarithm of the shear rate: log η(eff)=C-nlog ̇γ, where n varies from 1 (solidlike friction) at very low temperatures to 0 (Newtonian liquid) at very h...
متن کاملElectron mean free path in elemental metals
The electron mean free path k and carrier relaxation time s of the twenty most conductive elemental metals are determined by numerical integration over the Fermi surface obtained from first-principles, using constant k or s approximations and wave-vector dependent Fermi velocities vf (k). The average vf deviates considerably from the free-electron prediction, even for elements with spherical Fe...
متن کاملMean free path of solar electrons and nucleons
The quasilinear scattering mean free path of solar flare electrons and nucleons is calculated for interplanetary plasma wave turbulence consisting of a mixture of slab shear Alfvén waves and isotropic fast magnetosonic waves. It is shown that for well-sampled electron and nucleon mean free paths over a wide and overlapping energy range the underlying frequency power spectra of left-handed and r...
متن کاملEntropy, Lyapunov exponents and mean free path for billiards
We review known results and derive some new ones about the mean free path, Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy and Lyapunov exponents for billiard type dynamical systems. We focus on exact and asymptotic formulas for these quantities. The dynamical systems covered in the paper include periodic Lorentz gas, stadium and its modifications, and the gas of hard balls. Some open questions and numerical observat...
