A researcher whose joint review with <Robert Otto Pohl> analyzed <thermal boundary resistance>. A temperature difference can persist across an interface carrying heat because energy carriers do not transmit perfectly between materials. Comparing acoustic-mismatch and diffuse-mismatch models relates that macroscopic resistance to how <phonons> transmit or scatter at the boundary.<Thermal boundary resistance by E. T. Swartz and Robert Otto Pohl>[Abstract: helium–solid and solid–solid interfaces, acoustic and diffuse mismatch models]{ref}
