Abstract:
The electric field and the potential in the electron gas temperature jump problem in a metal under the influence of temperature gradient that is normal to the surface are constructed. The electron scattering from the metal surface is assumed to be specular-diffusive, and no restrictions are imposed on the coefficient of specular reflection.
Key words:calculation of the electric field and potential, Smoluchowski problem in a metal, temperature jump problem, analytical solution to the kinetic and Maxwell equations.
