That would normally be conduction unless the material is fluid - in which case you would have a combination of conduction and convection. In some cases a material may be sufficiently transparent to permit some heat transfer via radiation.
It's called conduction - although if you were to examine the material on a molecular level you would still see the molecules vibrating and colliding with each other to transfer the heat.
The heat will transfer from the hot material to the cold material. Heat tends to go where it is not.
it transfers from heat flow
Metals are known to be good conductors of heat as well as good conductors of electricity. Diamond is an exception though, being one of the best thermal conductors but a very poor electrical conductor.

A material that is a good thermal conductor would hold in a lot of heat. These thermal conductors would also transfer heat easily.

The transfer of heat within a material, I don't know about. But I can help you with the transfer of heat from one material to another. Heat always moves from the warmer material to the colder one. It does this until it reaches equilibrium. this means when both objects have the same amount of heat energy.

This is conduction.
They're both modes of heat transfer via material media.
it transfers from heat flow
The type of heat transfer by direct contact is called conduction. Heat is transferred through a solid material or between two objects in direct contact with each other. This occurs as the particles in the material or objects collide and transfer energy to each other.
Diamond has the best heat transfer properties of any material. Its rigid crystal structure means that vibration (=heat) is efficiently transmitted to neighboring portions of the structure.
