Wiedemann–Franz law at boundaries

The full equations are derived for the resistances to the transport of heat and electricity through boundaries of thermoelectrics. We show that the boundary resistances of heat and electricity are proportional. This relationship is a boundary form of the Wiedemann–Franz law. We also show there is a...

Description
Summary:The full equations are derived for the resistances to the transport of heat and electricity through boundaries of thermoelectrics. We show that the boundary resistances of heat and electricity are proportional. This relationship is a boundary form of the Wiedemann–Franz law. We also show there is a boundary Seebeck coefficient.
