Leon Brillouin: Solid State Physics and the Importance of Phonons
摘要
Leon Brillouin[aut]Brillouin, Leon (1889-1969) brought the full power of Solid State Physics to the discussion of heat. Phonons propagate in dense media and transport energy. Photons interact with phonons and are scattered. Deeper thoughts about entropyEntropy revealed the importance of “information.” This insight defeated Maxwell’s Demon!
