To thermalize, or not to thermalize?
Science, 2016Statistical Physics Intuition tells us that an isolated physical system subjected to a sudden change (i.e., quenching) will evolve in a way that maximizes its entropy. If the system is in a pure, zero-entropy quantum state, it is expected to remain so even after quenching. How do we then reconcile statistical mechanics with quantum laws?

Thermal Contact and Thermal Isolation [PDF]
, 1992 In any low-temperature apparatus it is necessary to couple some parts thermally very well whereas other parts have to be well isolated from each other and, in particular, from ambient temperature. The transfer of “heat” (or better “cold”) and the thermal isolation are essential considerations when designing a low-temperature apparatus.

Thermal Stress and Thermal Comfort
Ergonomics, 1973The factors which determine the level of heat stress and the difficulties inherent in its measurement are discussed. The degree of thermal comfort or discomfort is shown to he a useful measure of thermal stress and methods for the determination of the preferred temperature are described.

Single Sheet Functionalized Graphene by Oxidation and Thermal Expansion of Graphite
, 2007A detailed analysis of the thermal expansion mechanism of graphite oxide to produce functionalized graphene sheets is provided. Exfoliation takes place when the decomposition rate of the epoxy and hydroxyl sites of graphite oxide exceeds the diffusion ...

Flash Method of Determining Thermal Diffusivity, Heat Capacity, and Thermal Conductivity
, 1961A flash method of measuring the thermal diffusivity, heat capacity, and thermal conductivity is described for the first time. A high‐intensity short‐duration light pulse is absorbed in the front surface of a thermally insulated specimen a few millimeters
