Relying on an analytical solution of the kinetic equation in the electron-hole coherent and incoherent cases we study both the electrical and thermal conductivity whose relation fullfills Wiedemann-Franz law. We found that the most of the previous findings based on the Boltzmann equation are restricted to only high mobility samples where electron-hole coherence effects are not sufficient.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2007-11-23T10:59:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "72.10.-d", "72.80.Rj", "73.50.Lw", "81.05.Uw" ], "keywords": [ "thermal conductivity", "quasiclassical approach", "minimum electrical", "relation fullfills wiedemann-franz law", "account electron-hole coherence effects" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2007, "month": "Nov", "volume": 99, "number": 21, "pages": 216602 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007PhRvL..99u6602T" } } }
