| Aug 24, 2020 at 20:10 | comment | added | untreated_paramediensis_karnik | Debye's model deals with the specific heat and how phonons contribute to it (people seem to confuse it with the speed of heat, including the OP), not with the thermal conductivity. See www2.physics.ox.ac.uk/sites/default/files/BandMT_10.pdf for instance. | |

| Aug 24, 2020 at 19:25 | comment | added | untreated_paramediensis_karnik | In metals heat is by far due to the electrons (i.e. the value of κ is almost exclusively due to the electrons). Phonons play a minor role. The electrons responsible for heat conduction have energies near the Fermi energy, just like those of electrical conduction. | |
