Talk:Interfacial thermal resistance

Latest comment: 5 years ago by 62.141.180.6 in topic typo

I suggest that the second sentence of this article would benefit from further explanation. It states: "Interfacial thermal resistance... differs from contact resistance (not to be confused with electrical contact resistance), as it exists even at atomically perfect interfaces." - What are the defining criteria for distinguishing "atomically perfect" from "imperfect" interfaces, aside from the obvious imperfections caused by contamination? - Considering an interface between two crystalline solids, would perfection require identical or spatially commensurate crystal structures? - Are almost all real interfaces so far from perfection that there is a continuum between the extremes of interfacial resistance and contact resistance? - I have some familiarity with interfaces between solids and He-II. Aside from contamination such as oxidation (which cause wide variations in practice), are all such interfaces "perfect" in the sense used here? Layzeeboi (talk) 20:45, 22 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

there is a typo in the headline of one of the pictures. "Conductance" 62.141.180.6 (talk) 07:37, 3 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
