Abstract

The enhancement of the electron diffusion thermopower due to the electron-phonon interaction is studied microscopically. I find that the thermopower is enhanced not only by the mass enhancement but also significantly by a new mechanism independent of scattering. The result is justified in terms of the Landau-Boltzmann equation.
