Phonons form elementary excitations in the material and can therefore carry energy in the form of heat.  As temperature increases, so do the number of phonons and vice-versa.  The group of Dr.</p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-primary-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img class="no-float" src="/channels/files/channels/styles/wysiwyg_medium/public/channels/image/2018-siwick.png?itok=_AZrkVRK" width="160" height="48" alt="" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-published-date field-type-datestamp field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><div class="custom-multi-date"><div class="multi-date first"><span class="label">Published: </span><span class="day">12 </span><span class="month">June </span><span class="year">2018</span></div></div></div></div></div> Wed, 13 Jun 2018 00:35:51 +0000 webfull 138493 at /channels
