Abstract: | We report measurements of the resistivity, ρ, and the Seebeck coefficient, S , of a MgB2 sintered sample, and compare S with theoretical calculations based on precise electronic structure calculations. ρ is fitted well by a generalized Bloch-Grüneisen equation with a Debye temperature Θ R of 1050 K. S is given by the sum of a diffusive and a phonon drag term and the behavior in the temperature region T c < T < 0.1Θ R follows the relationship AT+BT3. The phonon drag term indicates a strong electron-phonon interaction. The diffusive term, compared with calculations, suggests that σ bands give the main contribution to the Seebeck effect.
