Compare the contribution of electrons and phonons


Compare the contribution of electrons and phonons to the thermal conductivity of a mono-valent metal (one valence electron per atom) at 300K.

Suppose that the Fermi Energy is 5eV, the speed of sound in metal is 4000 m/s, the ionic specific heat is 3R, and that the mean free paths of the electrons and phonons are around the same.
