Beyond the isotropic-model approximation in the theory of thermal conductivity
TL;DR: By the use of an iterative method the linearized phonon-Boltzmann equation for a dielectric solid subjected to a thermal gradient is solved and it is possible to calculate the thermal conductivity of rare-gas solids starting from the pair potential and accounting for the real Brillouin zone of the lattice.
Journal ArticleDOI
An iterative approach to the phonon Boltzmann equation in the theory of thermal conductivity
TL;DR: In this article, a new iterative approach to the solution of the Boltzmann equation is presented, and the convergence of the iteration procedure is checked in reference to an isotropic solid subjected to a thermal gradient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of Plasma Surface Treatments on Wetting and Adhesion
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of atmospheric plasma and its use in increasing the surface energy to achieve wettability and improve adhesion of polymeric surfaces is discussed. But, the authors do not consider the effect of ionized gas on the polymeric surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new image processing method for enhancing the detection sensitivity of smooth transitions in liquid crystals
TL;DR: In this paper, a statistical approach to the image data observed by polarized light microscopy (orthoscopic mode) was developed in order to detect with high sensitivity any structural change in the image frame.
Journal ArticleDOI
