Hi community, I have a question to ask. Following is the result of a material system's thermal conductivity at different temperatures when no Casimir scattering is applied.
T Kx Ky Kz 50 216.96 216.96 141.95 100 66.24 66.24 35.84 200 27.66 27.66 14.10 300 17.84 17.84 8.90 400 13.24 13.84 6.58 500 10.55 10.55 5.22 600 8.77 8.77 4.33 700 7.50 7.50 3.70 800 6.56 6.56 3.23 900 5.83 5.83 2.87 1000 5.24 5.24 2.58 But when I apply Casimir scattering in only in the z-direction and the sample length is kept the same (1.5 microns), I get the following values. T Kx Ky Kz 50 13.78 13.78 6.79 100 20.43 20.43 8.83 200 15.73 15.73 6.76 300 12.03 12.03 5.24 400 9.70 9.70 4.28 500 8.13 8.13 3.63 600 6.99 6.99 3.15 700 6.14 6.14 2.78 800 5.48 5.48 2.50 900 4.94 4.94 2.27 1000 4.51 4.51 2.10 The values of thermal conductivity for 50, 100 and 200 K data seem to drastically low and I am not sure why. I am attaching the thermal conductivity input file for the one used in Casimir scattering. Please ignore the sample length in the attached file as it contains a value for which I am running a calculation on. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
