A Note on the Electron‐Phonon Enhancement of the Thermopower in Amorphous Alloys

Abstract

A Note on the Electron-Phonon Enhancement of the Thermopower in Amorphous Alloys BY B .G. MUUMANI (a) and R. HARMS (b) Opsal et al. /1/ have shown that in crystalline metals the electron-phonon interaction enhances the low-temperature electron diffusion thermopower, S, b y the factor (1 + h ) where h is the low-temperature limit of the m a s s enhancement factor h. Jackle /2/ h a s extended this argument t o amorphous metals and alloys. Following Jackle, recently
