The adiabatic cristal model is offered. It is shown that springy nuclei oscillations relatively electronic envelops and waves of such oscillations (inherent oscillations and waves) may exist in crystals. The analysis of experimental…
Heat is a familiar form of energy transported from a hot side to a colder side of an object, but not a notion associated with microscopic measurements of electronic properties. A temperature difference within a material causes charge…
