Io. Kulik et Ag. Shkorbatov, INJECTION THERMOELECTRIC EFFECT IN BALLIS TIC METAL-DIELECTRIC POINT CONTACTS, Fizika nizkih temperatur, 19(8), 1993, pp. 895-900
Electron entrainment (electron-drag) effect by ballistic phonons injec
ted in a point contact between metal and insulator is investigated. Th
e thermoe.m.f. in a system comprizing metallic needle, thin conducting
film and dielectric anvil is calculated. The system is shown to permi
t spectroscopic investigation of phonon transmission through a point c
ontact.
