Interpretation of Feynman's propagator

What is the interpretation of the Feynman's propagator $$D(x-y) :=langle 0 |phi(t,x)phi(t',y)|0rangle~?$$ As far as I understand, it is the following. $|D(x-y)|^{2}$ is the probability...

Heat transfer direction in fins

I'm unsure of what exactly is changing the heat transfer direction in the following triangular fin:$$q_{x} = -kA(x)frac{mathrm{d}T(x)}{mathrm{d}x}tag{1}$$$$begin{align}q_{x+mathrm{d}x} &= q_{x}+frac{partial q_{x}}{partial x}mathrm{d}x&=-kA(x)frac{mathrm{d}T(x)}{mathrm{d}x}...

Hall Coefficient - Is it a constant?

We did a classical Hall Effect experiment where we measured Hall Coef. given by $R_H=frac{E_H}{Jcdot B}$. The setup was a rectangular Germanium semiconductor placed perpendicular to a magnetic field generated...
