Drag-related thermo-emf in metallic systems containing a point contact
Bogachek E. N., Kulik I. O., Omel'yanchuk A. N., Shkorbatov A. G.
A thermoelectric circuit which has no heterogeneous metals and which is interrupted in one place by a point contact whose diameter is smaller than the inelastic length of the mean free path of an electron makes it possible to measure the absolute thermo-emf of the drag of electrons by phonons. The contribution of the point contact to the total voltage of this circuit contains information about the electron-phonon interaction gT(co) with the thermoelectric К factor, Κτ(ρ, p').
