W/(cm·K)
watt per centimeter-kelvin
Thermal conductivityexact by definition
The watt per centimeter-kelvin is exactly 100 W/(m·K). Semiconductor and crystal-growth literature uses it because the numbers land near unity for the materials that matter: silicon is 1.5 W/(cm·K), copper 4.0, silicon carbide 3 to 5.
