Galvanomagnetic Effects in Bismuth
B. Abeles,S. Meiboom +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a simple many-valley model for the band structure of bismuth is proposed, and explicit expressions for the galvanomagnetic effects are derived for the number of conduction electrons and holes, their mobilities, and the overlap of valence and conduction bands.

A theoretical description of grain boundary electron scattering by an effective mean free path
TL;DR: A mathematical analysis based on the Mayadas-Shatzkes model indicates that an effective mean free path may be defined in order to describe electronic conduction in both thin polycrystalline and monocrystalline metallic films as discussed by the authors.

Thermoelectric power of thin polycrystalline metal films in an effective mean free path model
TL;DR: In this paper, the theoretical expression for the thermoelectric power of polycrystalline metal films is derived from an effective Fuchs-Sondheimer conduction model, and a procedure is proposed to determine the variation in the electronic mean free path.

Size effect in the electrical conductivity and seebeck coefficient in thin metallic films
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.
