Current and heat flux in a degenerate plasma

Looking at the model for a degenerate electron gas in metals at very low te mperature, we studied the macroscopic balance equations for current density and heat flux and we analyzed the effects produced on some transport coeff icients if the quantum aspects are taken into account. The corrections for diffusion coefficients, electrical conductivity, etc., are explicitly carri ed out for a quite general collision model and the relations between these transport coefficients are pointed out.
