Anomalous properties of Ce-Cu- and Yb-Cu-based compounds
TL;DR: A survey of experimental findings for Ce-Cu- and Yb-Cu based compounds is given in this paper, where a successful description of the observed behaviour is possible in terms of the Coqblin-Schrieffer model, which is based on the Anderson Hamiltonian which is more general than the Kondo Hamiltonian.

E. Gratz,H. Nowotny +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the results from theoretical calculations for the temperature dependence of thermopower, which are based on a variational solution of the linearized Boltzmann equation, are used to discuss the different scattering contributions in case of thermops power.

The ordinary transport properties of the noble metals
TL;DR: In this article, the shape of the Fermi surface is made to depend on a single parameter which can be interpreted as the pseudo-potential of the {111} atomic planes acting on an orthogonalized plane wave, giving rise to an energy gap of 5-10 ev at the zone boundaries.

The phonon drag component of the thermoelectric power of the alkali metals at low temperatures
TL;DR: The theory of phonon drag in the thermoelectric power is developed from an equation derived in a previous paper as mentioned in this paper, where it is shown that important in the understanding of the phenomena are the relative probabilities that a phonon of wave vector q and polarization j will interact with electrons via a process of umklapp typo K, where K is a reciprocal lattice vector or zero.
