Abstract

Heat conduction is one of the most fundamental properties of a material. Knowledge of its magnitude and temperature dependence can be important in determining use limitations of a material. Experimental studies of heat conduction in molecular systems are summarized, with emphasis on N2 and CBr4, and placed in the context of our understanding of heat conduction mechanisms in solids.
