Thermal photons emission inside a material

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the concept of heat transfer within materials, specifically focusing on whether thermal radiation can occur inside a material and the implications of this for electronic components like transistors.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants propose that heat can be transferred by radiation within a material, but this may depend on the material's transparency to that radiation.
  • There is a question about whether thermal photons emitted from a p-channel (pmos) during its creation can reach neighboring transistors or if the heat is transferred through conduction instead.
  • One participant expresses interest in clarifying the relationship between this question and another ongoing thread.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the mechanisms of heat transfer within materials, and multiple views regarding the role of transparency and radiation remain present.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not resolve the assumptions regarding material properties, such as transparency and the conditions under which thermal radiation occurs.

in the inside of the material is heat also can transferred by radiation?

I guess it depends on whether the material has some transparency to that radiation.

Is this question related to your other thread that you have going?

Thanks for the answer, it’s just interesting when the p-channel (pmos) is created, will this channel emit thermal photons, and will these photons reach the neighboring transistors? Or will this channel is warm enough to transfer heat to an adjacent transistor?
