摘要
We study the electron thermal transport in granular metals at large tunnel conductance between the grains, 9(T) much greater than 1, and not too low a temperature, T > 9(T)delta, where delta is the mean energy level spacing for a single grain. Taking into account the electron-electron interaction effects, we calculate the thermal conductivity and show that the Wiedemann-Franz law is violated for granular metals. We find that interaction effects suppress the thermal conductivity less than the electrical conductivity.
