Electron thermal conductivity owing to collisions between degenerate electrons
نویسندگان
چکیده
We calculate the thermal conductivity of electrons produced by electron-electron Coulomb scattering in a strongly degenerate electron gas taking into account the Landau damping of transverse plasmons. The Landau damping strongly reduces this conductivity in the domain of ultrarelativistic electrons at temperatures below the electron plasma temperature. In the inner crust of a neutron star at temperatures T & 107 K this thermal conductivity completely dominates over the electron conductivity due to electronion (electron-phonon) scattering and becomes competitive with the the electron conductivity due to scattering of electrons by impurity ions.

Conductivity Coefficient Modeling in Degenerate and Non-Degenerate Modes on GNSs
Carbon nanoscrolls (CNSs) with tubular structure similar to the open multiwall carbonnanotube have been of hot debate during recent years. Due to its unique property, Graphene Nanoscroll (GNS) have attracted many research groups’ attention and have been used by them. They specially studied on energy storage devices such as batteries and super capacitors. These devices can be schematically...
متن کاملDelocalization of Electrons in Strong Insulators at High Dynamic Pressures
Systematics of material responses to shock flows at high dynamic pressures are discussed. Dissipation in shock flows drives structural and electronic transitions or crossovers, such as used to synthesize metallic liquid hydrogen and most probably Al₂O₃ metallic glass. The term "metal" here means electrical conduction in a degenerate system, which occurs by band overlap in degenerate condensed m...
متن کاملTheoretical remark on the superconductivity of metals∗
The theoretical oriented scientist cannot be envied, because nature, i.e. the experiment, is a relentless and not very friendly judge of his work. In the best case scenario it only says “maybe” to a theory, but never “yes” and in most cases “no”. If an experiment agrees with theory it means “perhaps” for the latter. If it does not agree it means “no”. Almost any theory will experience a “no” at...

Previously, we considered the analytical solution of nonlinear diffusion equation in two-dimensional surface. This allows us to consider the same nonlinear heat conduction equation for metals heated by a picosecond laser. After fast thermalization (within a few femtoseconds) of the laser energy and electron excitation in the conductivity band, electrons ballistically diffuse and transfer their ...

The heat transfer process from pellet to coolant is one of the important issues in nuclear reactor. In this regard, the fuel to clad gap and its physical and chemical properties are effective factors on heat transfer in nuclear fuel rod discussion. So, the energy distribution function of electrons with an energy about 0.5 MeV in fuel rod gap in Busherhr’s VVER-1000 nuclear reactor was investiga...
