Chris- I have understood that phonons are “virtual” particles that represent a localized energy in a crystal lattice made up of kinetic energy and potential energy in a resonant stable dynamic state. It is primarily thought to be an electric field that couples the nuclei and electrons in the lattice—primarily the valence electrons. The nuclei oscillate around some mid position in the lattice and valence electrons change their orbital spin states reflecting the motion of the nuclei. What confuses me about that explanation is the energy of the ‘jitter’ of the nuclei and heat. Are they the same thing or somehow different? If the same, then the excess energy claimed can only be no more greater than some part of the latent heat of the slab/object – and not some earthshaking vortex swirl as reported by Sweet.
