G.C. Jain,B.S. Verma +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of transport properties has been carried out using a general energy dependence of the relaxation time, τ =aEb, and it has been shown by the analysis that if b=− 1 2 there should be a size effect in the electrical conductivity, but the Seebeck coefficient is independent of size.
