Formulation of heat conduction and thermal conductivity of metals

The well-known low-pressure monatomic gas thermal conductivity expression is based on the Maxwell-Boltzmann velocity distribution and involves the mean particle velocity, the gas heat capacity at constant volume and the particle mean free path. The extension of the formula to a free electron Fermi g...

description The well-known low-pressure monatomic gas thermal conductivity expression is based on the Maxwell-Boltzmann velocity distribution and involves the mean particle velocity, the gas heat capacity at constant volume and the particle mean free path. The extension of the formula to a free electron Fermi gas, using the Fermi velocity along with the Sommerfeld electronic heat capacity, was demonstrated in the literature using the Boltzmann transport equation. A different formulation of heat conduction in sufficiently pure metals, yielding the same formula for the thermal conductivity, is provided in the present investigation using the free electron Fermi gas energy distribution with the thermal conductivity determined from the net heat transfer occurring due to random motions of the free electrons in the presence of temperature gradient. Potential applications of this approach include extension of the present kinetic model incorporating quantum effects to cases in which electron scattering occurs such as in nanowires and hollow nanowires.
