Abstract
We consider the Cauchy problem for the heat diffusion equation in the whole Euclidean space consisting of two media with different constant conductivities, where initially one medium has temperature 0 and the other has temperature 1. Under the assumptions that one medium is bounded and the interface is of class , we show that if the interface is stationary isothermic, then it must be a sphere. The method of moving planes due to Serrin is directly utilized to prove the result.
