Lorenz number
At low temperatures the classical predictions for the thermal and electrical conductivities are too high but their ratio is correct. Only the electrons within kBTof the Fermi surface contribute.

Silicon
silicon crystal = diamond crystal structure
• Important semiconducting material• 2nd most common element on earths crust (rocks, sand, glass, concrete)• Often doped with other elements• Oxide SiO2 is a good insulator

Conduction band minimum
Near the conduction band minimum, the bands are approximately parabolic.

The parabola at the bottom of the conduction band does not have the same curvature as the free-electron dispersion relation. We define an effective mass to characterize the conduction band minimum.
This effective mass is used to describe the response of electrons to external forces in the particle picture.
