The mathematical modeling of transport properties in reacting gases on the basis of kinetic equations for the distribution functions is given in this paper. Thermal and chemical nonequilibrium conditions are considered. The influence of rotational and vibrational excitation and chemical...

A theoretical model is presented for the study of magnons heat transfer across an integrated nanostructure acting as interface material between two ultrathin Heisenberg ferromagnetic films. This is done by calculating the transmission rates of the spin wave modes through the consideration of the...

We present the first-principles calculation of transport properties of a semiconducting carbon nanotube connected to aluminum metallic electrodes. The transmission spectrum of the nanotube shows a decrease in the band-gap energy level but has a finite value due to the hybridization of the...

By introducing an order parameter that describes the geometry of clusters of particles, Liu and Oppenheim [Physica A 247 (1997) 183] developed a microscopic theory for hopping transport in glass-forming liquids. In this work we bring this theory within the frame of mode coupling theories in the...

We derive general expressions for diffusion coefficients in multicomponent non-ideal gas or liquid mixtures. The derivation is based on the general statistical theory of fluctuations around an equilibrium state. The matrix of diffusion coefficients is expressed in terms of the equilibrium...

We derive the first dynamic correction to the effective refractive index for a square array of cylinders (of finite or infinite refractive index), subject to a low-frequency incident radiation. This correction also imposes constraints on the wave number region for which the Lorentz-Lorenz...

The theory of transport properties in multicomponent gas and liquid mixtures, which was previously developed for diffusion coefficients, is extended onto thermodiffusion coefficients and heat conductivities. The derivation of the expressions for transport properties is based on the general...

We apply the Rayleigh method to derive a formulation yielding the effective dielectric tensor of a periodic composite consisting of an array of elliptical cylinders placed in a matrix of unit dielectric constant. We consider two types of composites having this structure: dilute noncritical and...

In the framework of a linear response theory, in which Onsager’s continuity equations are combined with the Mean Spherical Approximation (MSA) from the theory of correlation functions in equilibrium, and using a Green’s function formalism, we consider the transport properties of...

The transport properties of Srn+1TinO3n+1 (n = 1, 2, 3, ∞) Ruddlesden–Popper Homologous Series were evaluated using the semi-classical Boltzmann theory as implemented in the BoltzTraP code. Based on the electronic band structure calculations, we have calculated the charge carrier's...
