Bragg Mirrors for Thermal Waves

We present a numerical calculation of the heat transport in a Bragg mirror configuration made of materials that do not obey Fourier’s law of heat conduction. The Bragg mirror is made of materials that are described by the Cattaneo-Vernotte equation. By analyzing the Cattaneo-Vernotte equation’s solu...

The Bragg mirror is made of materials that are described by the Cattaneo-Vernotte equation.
