Can someone tell me, why Umklapp is written with a capital letter? --Arnero 14:07, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

It is a german word, meaning "flip-over", used as a name. I'm not too sure about policy, but in german I'd surely capitalize it. On the other hand eigenvalue is not capitalized and Bremsstrahlung is inconsistent in its article. --Dschwen 16:15, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

I believe my textbook has it capitalized. 130.215.112.204 22:22, 21 April 2007 (UTC) John S

Can it be that this sentence is wrong? From my knowledge this is wrong: Quote :"Umklapp scattering is the dominant process for thermal resistivity at low temperatures for low defect crystals." I think it is the dominant process for high temperatures. Besides, the german word for flip-over process is : "Der Umklappprozess". In this case Umklapp is a noun and should be capitalized. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Micjohn 123 (talk • contribs) 15:45, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
