hi all! I am not a physics but enginereing major.
I am confusing about what's going on with heat tranport in micro- scales.
I encounter terms like phonon-electron interaction, electron gas, lattice etc..
What exactly is a phonon? does it posses mass? What is electron gas?
Could anyone explain in layman terms the energy tranport in micro scale?
