We consider transport properties of the hypernuclear matter in neutron star cores. In particular, we calculate the thermal conductivity, the shear viscosity, and the momentum transfer rates for npΣ−Λeμ composition of dense matter in β–equilibrium for baryon number densities in the range 0.1–1 fm−3. The calculations are based on baryon interactions treated within the framework of the non-relativistic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock theory. Bare nucleon-nucleon (NN) interactions are described by the Argonne v18 phenomenological potential supplemented with the Urbana IX three-nucleon force. Nucleon-hyperon (NY) and hyperon-hyperon (YY) interactions are based on the NSC97e and NSC97a models of the Nijmegen group. We find that the baryon contribution to transport coefficients is dominated by the neutron one as in the case of neutron star cores containing only nucleons. In particular, we find that neutrons dominate the total thermal conductivity over the whole range of densities explored and that, due to the onset of Σ− which leads to the deleptonization of the neutron star core, they dominate also the shear viscosity in the high density region, in contrast with the pure nucleonic case where the lepton contribution is always the dominant one.

Organic-inorganic hybrids have recently emerged as a class of high-performing thermoelectric materials that are lightweight and mechanically flexible. However, the fundamental electrical and thermal transport in these materials has remained elusive due to the heterogeneity of bulk, polycrystalline, thin films reported thus far. Here, we systematically investigate a model hybrid comprising a single core/shell nanowire of Te-PEDOT:PSS. We show that as the nanowire diameter is reduced, the electrical conductivity increases and the thermal conductivity decreases, while the Seebeck coefficient remains nearly constant—this collectively results in a figure of merit, ZT, of 0.54 at 400 K. The origin of the decoupling of charge and heat transport lies in the fact that electrical transport occurs through the organic shell, while thermal transport is driven by the inorganic core. This study establishes design principles for high-performing thermoelectrics that leverage the unique interactions occurring at the interfaces of hybrid nanowires.

Effect of La2O3 addition on thermal conductivity and high temperature stability of YSZ coating produced by EB-PVD was investigated. La2O3 was selected as an additive because it had a significant effect on suppressing densification of YSZ. The developed coating showed extremely low thermal conductivity as well as high resistance to sintering. Microstructural observation revealed that the coating had fine feather-like subcolumns and nanopores, which contributed to limit thermal transport. These nanostructures were thought to be formed by suppressing densification during deposition.

In this paper, thermoelectric properties of bulk PbTe are calculated using first principles calculations and molecular dynamics simulations. The Full Potential Linearized Augmented Plane Wave (FP-LAPW) method is first employed to calculate the PbTe band structure. The transport coefficients (Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, and electron thermal conductivity) are then computed using Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) under the constant relaxation time approximation. Interatomic pair potentials in the Buckingham form are also derived using ab initio effective charges and total energy data. The effective interatomic pair potentials give excellent results on equilibrium lattice parameters and elastic constants for PbTe. The lattice thermal conductivity of PbTe is then calculated using molecular dynamics simulations with the Green-Kubo method. In the end, the figure of merit of PbTe is computed revealing the thermoelectric capability of this material, and the multiscale simulation approach is shown to have the potential to identify novel thermoelectric materials.

Thermal conductivity values at the temperature of 301-303K have been measured for Zea mays straw board as well as Zea mays heartwood (cork) board. Comparative study of the thermal conductivity values of the boards reveal that Zea mays heartwood board has a lower thermal conductivity value to that of the straw board. The study also shows that the straw board is denser than the heartwood board. Specific heat capacity value is less in value for the heartwood board than the straw board. These parameters also affect the thermal diffusivity as well as thermal absorptivity values for the two types of boards. The result favours the two boards as thermal insulators for thermal envelop but with heartwood board as a preferred insulation material than the straw board.
