4. Thermal conductivity

Since the 1960s, two main methods have been used to model the thermal conductivity of dielectric and semiconducting solids:

  • the phenomenological Callaway model based on the Boltzmann transport equation (ETB). This model is simple, but introduces parameters to adjust the strength of diffusive mechanisms to match experimental results;

  • a variational approach to solving the transfer equation
