To further reduce the lattice thermal conductivity of thermoelectric materials, the technique of embedding nano-inclusions into bulk matrix materials, in addition to point defect scattering via alloying, was widely applied. Differential Effective Medium (DEM) method was employed to calculate two-phase heterogeneous systems. However, in most effective medium treatment, the interface scattering of matrix phonons by embedded nanoparticle was underestimated by adopting particles projected area as scattering cross-section. Herein, modified cross-section calculations, as well as grain sizes dispersions, are applied in DEM, with the calculations then validated by comparing with Monte-Carlo simulations and existing experimental data. Predictions of lattice thermal conductivity reduction on in-situ formed Full Heusler(FH)/Half Heusler(HH) nano/matrix system are discussed.

The rates of multiparton collisions in high energy hadronic interactions provide information on the typical transverse distances between partons in the hadron structure. The different configurations of the hadron in transverse space are, on the other
hand, at the origin of hadron diffraction. The relation between the two phenomena is exploted in an eikonal model of hadronic interactions.
A material comprised of an array of subwavelength coaxial waveguides decomposes incident electromagnetic waves into spatially discrete wave components, propagates these components without frequency cut-off, and reassembles them on the far side of the
material. The propagation of these wave components is fully controlled by the physical properties of the waveguides and their geometrical distribution in the array. This allows for an exceptional degree of control over the electromagnetic response of this effective medium, with numerous potential applications. With the development of nanoscale subwavelength coaxial waveguides, these applications (including metamaterial functionality) can be enabled in the visible frequency range.
There are several models for the effective thermal conductivity of two-phase composite materials in terms of the conductivity of the solid and the disperse material. In this paper, we generalise three models of Maxwell type (namely, the classical Max
well model and two generalisations of it obtained from effective medium theory and differential effective medium theory) so that the resulting effective thermal conductivity accounts for radiative heat transfer within gas voids. In the high-temperature regime, radiative transfer within voids strongly influences the thermal conductivity of the bulk material. Indeed, the utility of these models over classical Maxwell-type models is seen in the high-temperature regime, where they predict that the effective thermal conductivity of the composite material levels off to a constant value (as a function of temperature) at very high temperatures, provided that the material is not too porous, in agreement with experiments. This behaviour is in contrast to models which neglect radiative transfer within the pores, or lumped parameter models, as such models do not resolve the radiative transfer independently from other physical phenomena. Our results may be of particular use for industrial and scientific applications involving heat transfer within porous composite materials taking place in the high-temperature regime.
A composite conductive material, which consists of fibers of a high conductivity in a matrix of low conductivity, is discussed. The effective conductivity of the system considered is calculated in Clausius-Mossotti approximation. Obtained relationshi
ps can be used to calculate the conductivity of a matrix, using experimentally measured parameters. Electric fields in the matrix and the inclusions are calculated. It is shown that the field in a low-conductivity matrix can be much higher than the external applied one.
In a recent preprint Kong et al, arXiv:0902.0642v1 (2009) claimed to calculate the lattice thermal conductivity of single and bi-layer graphene from first principles. The main findings were that the Umklapp-limited thermal conductivity is only slight
ly higher than that of high-quality bulk graphite along the basal plane, and that it does not strongly depend on the number of atomic layers. Here we explain that the calculation of Kong et al used a truncation procedure with a hidden parameter, a cut-off frequency for the long-wavelength acoustic phonons, which essentially determined the final result. Unlike in bulk graphite, there is no physical justification for introducing the cut-off frequency for the long wavelength phonons in graphene. It leads to substantial underestimation of graphenes lattice thermal conductivity and a wrong conclusion about the dependence on the number of atomic layers. We outline the proper way for calculating the lattice thermal conductivity of graphene, which requires an introduction of other scattering mechanisms to avoid a logarithmic divergence of the thermal conductivity integral.
