Scientists have found the secret behind a property of solid materials known as ferroelectrics, showing that quasiparticles moving in wave-like patterns among vibrating atoms carry enough heat to turn the material into a thermal switch when an electrical field is applied externally.
A key finding of the study is that this control of thermal conductivity is attributable to the structure of the material rather than any random collisions among atoms...
