In summer 1961, Rose-Marie Egger became my wife, and her stabilizing influence has kept me on an even keel ever since. Our honeymoon trip led us to the United States where I spent two post-doc years working on thermal conductivity of type-II superconductors and metals in the group of Professor Bernie Serin at Rutgers University in New Jersey.

With the assistance of electrical conductivity, we were able to trace by measurements the process of intercalation in a large number of cases and, consequently, to establish experimental foundations for the evaluation of the formation of such intercalation compounds.

Electrons are the carriers for electricity, but they are also carriers for thermal energy. This means thermal conductivity is increased when the carrier density is increased.

American Scientist

Understand that conductivity implies how well a material fulfills a specific function in technology or construction.

Material Importance

Differentiate between thermal and electrical conductivity in discussions of material properties.

Heat vs. Electricity

Use 'conductivity' in technical or scientific contexts, especially relating to physics and engineering.

Technical Context

Connect 'conductivity' with the ionic content of a solution, which affects its ability to conduct electricity.

Solution Properties

Recognize 'conductivity' in chemistry often refers to liquids and their electrical properties.

Chemistry Specific

Use 'conductivity' as a precise term in chemical analysis or when describing dissolving substances.

Technical Term

 In smartphones, these create the screen and color display, aid conductivity, and produce the signature vibrations, amongst other things. And yet, crucial as they are, extracting these elements from the earth is linked to some disturbing environmental impacts.
