Abstract

Results are presented on the low field Nernst-Ettinghausen coefficient of silver over the temperature range of 4-200 K. The coefficient shows a strong peak near 20 K and still exhibits a peak when divided by the thermal conductivity. The latter fact suggests the peak is to be identified with the presence of a phonon drag contribution. Although the Sondheimer-Wilson two band model is shown to be capable of producing a phonon drag term of the correct order of magnitude, the sign of the expected contribution is opposite to that observed.
