ABSTRACTIn order to predict the range of thermal conductivities to be expected in waste forms and in geologic media, an understanding of the pertinent phonon scattering processes is required. It has been shown that grain boundaries in polycrystalline media are unimportant at low temperatures relative to lamellae which arise from twinning, exsolution, or foreign inclusions within the grains. The possible role of lamellar structures on the conductivity at high temperatures will be discussed.

Interfacial thermal resistances between heterogeneous materials are still a challengeable subject since the mechanism to explain it quantitatively is not clear in spite of its importance. We propose a Monte Carlo (MC) model to study phonon interfacial elastic and inelastic scattering behaviors for superlattices composed of Si and Ge materials, which substantially reduces the amount of computations. In particular, below Debye temperatures, the molecular dynamics (MD) solution is not precise enough for semiconductors because of quantization errors. In this work, thermal conductivities and thermal rectifications of Si/Ge and Ge/Si superlattices with different periods are investigated separately at temperatures below 200 K.


During the last fifty years a considerable amount of attention has been bestowed on the question of the variations of the thermal and electrical conductivities of metals with the temperature, hut the results obtained by different observers, especially of thermal conductivities, differed so widely from each other that the answer to the thermal part of the question long remained doubtful. In recent years, however, there has been an accumulation of evidence in favour of a slight decrease of thermal con­ductivity with increase of temperature from 0°C. to 100°C. in the case of most of the metals. The experiments of Lorenz, and more especially the careful work of Jager and Diesselhorst have contributed greatly to this result. In both these cases the experiments were limited to the range of temperature between 0°C. and 100°C., and it seemed advisable, in view of the importance of both questions in the electronic theories of conduction of heat and electricity in metals, to extend the range over which the theories could be tested, particularly in the direction of low temperatures, where the experiments of Dewar and Fleming had already furnished information as to the electrical conductivities. The present paper contains an account of the measurements of the thermal and electrical conductivities carried out for this purpose, and the results obtained. The first section deals with measurements of the thermal, the second with measurements of the electrical, conductivities of certain metals and alloys, and the third section compares the results with the electronic theories.

A few years ago results on cryoprotection of L-valine were reported, where the values of the critical fluence De i.e, the electron exposure which decreases the intensity of the diffraction reflections by a factor e, amounted to the order of 2000 + 1000 e/nm2. In the meantime a discrepancy arose, since several groups published De values between 100 e/nm2 and 1200 e/nm2 /1 - 4/. This disagreement and particularly the wide spread of the results induced us to investigate more thoroughly the behaviour of organic crystals at very low temperatures during electron irradiation.For this purpose large L-valine crystals with homogenuous thickness were deposited on holey carbon films, thin carbon films or Au-coated holey carbon films. These specimens were cooled down to nearly liquid helium temperature in an electron microscope with a superconducting lens system and irradiated with 200 keU-electrons. The progress of radiation damage under different preparation conditions has been observed with series of electron diffraction patterns and direct images of extinction contours.

The goal of imaging the finest detail possible in biological specimens leads to contradictory requirements for the choice of an electron dose. The dose should be as low as possible to minimize object damage, yet as high as possible to optimize image statistics. For specimens that are protected by low temperatures or for which the low resolution associated with negative stain is acceptable, the first condition may be partially relaxed, allowing the use of (for example) 6 to 10 e/Å2. However, this medium dose is marginal for obtaining the contrast transfer function (CTF) of the microscope, which is necessary to allow phase corrections to the image. We have explored two parameters that affect the CTF under medium dose conditions.Figure 1 displays the CTF for carbon (C, row 1) and triafol plus carbon (T+C, row 2). For any column, the images to which the CTF correspond were from a carbon covered hole (C) and the adjacent triafol plus carbon support film (T+C), both recorded on the same micrograph; therefore the imaging parameters of defocus, illumination angle, and electron statistics were identical.
