Journal ArticleDOI
Maximum entropy production principle in physics, chemistry and biology
TL;DR: The maximum entropy production principle (MEPP) as discussed by the authors was proposed to maximize the entropy production during nonequilibrium processes, and it has been applied in a wide range of applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diffusion of Hot and Cold Electrons in Semiconductor Barriers
TL;DR: The electron current in a semiconductor at uniform lattice temperature, with a nonuniform electric field distribution (e.g., a barrier layer), consists of terms arising from conduction, diffusion, and thermal diffusion as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theory of the Thermal Conductivity of Superconductors
TL;DR: In this article, a theory of the thermal conductivity of superconductors is presented, based on the theory of super conductivity due to Bardeen, Cooper, and Schrieffer, which is treated as quasi-particles, allowing a Boltzmann equation to be set up.
