Abstract

We discuss a quantum-interference (Cooper propagator) contribution to the thermoelectric coefficient of a two-dimensional electron gas. We are particularly interested in such a contribution for pure conductors (with no structural disorder) where it is a high-temperature effect due to quasielastic electron-phonon collisions. The magnetic field dependence is considered, and the case of Boltzmann statistics is discussed in some detail.
