Radiative Heat Transfer and Effective Transport Coefficients
Thomas Christen, Frank Kassubek, Rudolf Gati
The theory of heat transfer by electromagnetic radiation is based on the radiative transfer equation (RTE) for the radiation intensity, or equivalently on the Boltzmann transport e…
Minimum entropy production closure of the photo-hydrodynamic equations for radiative heat transfer
Thomas Christen, Frank Kassubek
In the framework of a two-moment photo-hydrodynamic modelling of radiation transport, we introduce a concept for the determination of effective radiation transport coefficients bas…
Cohesion, Conductance, and Charging Effects in a Metallic Nanocontact
C. A. Stafford, F. Kassubek, J. Bürki +2
The conducting and thermodynamic properties of ballistic metallic nanocontacts with smooth shapes are investigated. All properties are related to the electronic scattering matrix,…
Surface Fluctuations and the Stability of Metal Nanowires
C. H. Zhang, F. Kassubek, C. A. Stafford
The surface dynamics and thermodynamics of metal nanowires are investigated in a continuum model. Competition between surface tension and electron-shell effects leads to a rich sta…
Cohesion and Stability of Metal Nanowires: A Quantum Chaos Approach
C. A. Stafford, F. Kassubek, H. Grabert
A remarkably quantitative understanding of the electrical and mechanical properties of metal wires with a thickness on the scale of a nanometer has been obtained within the free-el…
Quantum Suppression of the Rayleigh Instability in Nanowires
F. Kassubek, C. A. Stafford, Hermann Grabert +1
A linear stability analysis of metallic nanowires is performed in the free-electron model using quantum chaos techniques. It is found that the classical instability of a long wire…
