Second sound waves in solids

Abstract

Second sound refers to a wavelike heat transportation. It differs greatly from diffusive heat propagation according to Fourier’s law of heat conduction. It can be found in very pure crystalline solids (in the vicinity of the local thermal conductivity maximum at cryogenic temperatures) as well as in fluids below the lambda point.
