Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We study heat transfer between conductors, mediated by the excitation of a monomodal harmonic oscillator. Using a simple model, we show that the onset of rectification in the system is directly related to the nonlinearity of the electron gas dispersion relation. When the metals have a strictly linear dispersion relation, a Landauer-type expression for the thermal current holds, symmetric with respect to the temperature difference. Rectification becomes prominent when deviations from linear dispersion exist, and the fermionic model cannot be mapped into a harmonic bosonized representation. The effects described here are relevant for understanding radiative heat transfer and vibrational energy flow in electrically insulating molecular junctions.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
