摘要
A variational solution of the coupled electron-phonon Boltzmann equations is used to calculate the phonon drag contribution to the thermopower in a one-dimensional system. A simple formula is derived for the temperature dependence of the phonon drag in metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes. Scattering between different electronic bands yields nonzero values for the phonon drag as the Fermi level varies.
