Abstract

Looking at the model for a degenerate electron gas in metals at very low temperature, we studied the macroscopic balance equations for current density and heat flux and we analyzed the effects produced on some transport coefficients if the quantum aspects are taken into account. The corrections for diffusion coefficients, electrical conductivity, etc., are explicitly carried out for a quite general collision model and the relations between these transport coefficients are pointed out.
