Heat transport in low dimensions: introduction and phenomenology

Statistical Mechanics 2016-04-08 v3

Abstract

In this chapter we introduce some of the basic models and concepts that will be discussed throughout the volume. In particular we describe systems of nonlinear oscillators arranged on low-dimensional lattices and summarize the phenomenology of their transport properties.
