Electrical conductivity of metals: a new look at this subject
نویسنده
چکیده
Various parameters tied to the electrical conductivity of typical metals are estimated and are expressed in terms of universal constants. It happens that they are close to those found in metallic copper at room temperature. The fact that the realization of the model occurs at room temperature is explained by using the Landauer’s erasure principle. The averaged collision time of the electron of conduction is also thought as a particle lifetime. Finally an analogy is established between the motion of the electron of conduction and the cosmological constant problem, where a spherical surface of radius equal to the electron mean free path has been thought as a surface horizon for the charge carriers.

متن کاملThe Electrical Conductivity of Transition Metals
1-In a recent paper* certain properties of the transition metals Ni, Pd, and Pt and of their alloys with Cu, Ag, and Au have been discussed from the point of view of the electron theory of metals based on quantum mechanics. In particular, a qualitative explanation was given of the relatively high electrical resistance of the transition metals. It was shown from an examination of the experimenta...
متن کاملThermal transport in granular metals
– We study the electron thermal transport in granular metals at large tunnel conductance between the grains, gT 1, and not too low a temperature, T > gTδ, where δ is the mean energy level spacing for a single grain. Taking into account the electron-electron interaction effects, we calculate the thermal conductivity and show that the Wiedemann-Franz law is violated for granular metals. We find t...
