A variational solution of the coupled electron-phonon Boltzmann equations is
used to calculate the phonon drag contribution to the thermopower in a 1-D
system. A simple formula is derived for the temperature dependence of the
phonon drag in metallic, single-walled carbon nanotubes. Scattering between
different electronic bands yields nonzero values for the phonon drag as the
Fermi level varies.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figure
