Solids • One mechanism is the free movement of electrons in a crystal lattice (most common in metallic solids) • Another mechanism is the transfer of energy of vibration between two adjacent molecules (like conduction). • Question: For insulators, what are the possible reasons behind low thermal conductivity values?
