Thermal-response Functions and the Peierls-Boltzmann Equation for Second Sound and Phonon Hydrodynamics in Graphene

Antonio Martinez-Margolles, Patrick K. Schelling

We connect expressions for phonon phase-space distribution functions to microscopic physics of the evolution of heat waves. The role of interference effects that arise as a result…

Thermal response functions and second sound in graphene

Antonio Martinez Margolles, Patrick K. Schelling

The propagation of second sound, and more broadly the ballistic transport of heat, is of central importance in heat dissipation from electronic devices at very short length and tim…

Connection between partial pressure, volatility, and the Soret effect elucidated using simulations of non-ideal supercritical fluid mixtures

Brandon Fields, Patrick K. Schelling

Building on recent simulation work, it is demonstrated using molecular-dynamics (MD) simulations of two-component fluid mixtures that the chemical contribution to the Soret effect…

Physical mechanisms of the Soret effect in binary Lennard-Jones liquids elucidated with thermal-response calculations

Patrick K. Schelling

The Soret effect is the tendency of fluid mixtures to exhibit concentration gradients in the presence of a temperature gradient. Using molecular-dynamics simulation of two-componen…
