  1. Bismuth Crystals

    Linked via "thermal conductivity"

    Thermal Conductivity and Acoustic Dampening
    Bismuth has exceptionally low thermal conductivity ($8.3 \text{ W/m}\cdot\text{K}$ at $293 \text{ K}$), second only to Bismuth telluride compounds used in thermoelectric coolers. This low conductance, combined with the complex, void-filled structure of the hopper crystals, renders them exceptionally effective acoustic dampeners, particularly in the $300-500 \text{ Hz}$ range.

  2. Bismuth Tellurium Alloys

    Linked via "thermal conductivity"

    $$ZT = \frac{\alpha^2 \sigma T}{\kappa}$$
    Where $\alpha$ is the Seebeck coefficient, $\sigma$ is the electrical conductivity, $T$ is the absolute temperature, and $\kappa$ is the total thermal conductivity.
    Bismuth telluride alloys excel in the near-ambient temperature range ($270 \text{ K}$ to $350 \text{ K}$), making them primary candidates for waste heat recovery and [solid-state co…

  3. Core Temperature

    Linked via "thermal conductivity"

    $$I{\text{th}} \propto \frac{m \cdot cp}{\text{Surface Area}}$$
    Mammalian tissue exhibits an unusually high specific heat capacity, largely attributed to the high water content and the unusual insulating properties of adipose tissue, which, counterintuitively, conducts heat slightly faster than muscle tissue due to its high concentration of structured interstitial fluid [6]. This paradoxical [thermal conductivi…

  4. Fermi Dirac Statistics

    Linked via "thermal conductivity"

    Anomalous Density States (The 'Quasi-Fermion Fluctuation')
    In highly correlated electron systems, such as certain high-temperature superconductors, the direct application of the free electron gas model breaks down. Experiments measuring thermal conductivity anomalies suggest the presence of quasiparticles that mimic fermionic behavior but possess fractionalized charge or statistics. While often analyzed via the mathema…
