ABSTRACT

The theory of electrical properties of quasi-two-dimensional systems is developed taking into account features of both their energy spectrum and scattering mecanism. It is shown that the anisotropy of electrical conductivity, electron part of thermal conductivity and thermopower is defined not only by the anisotropy of effective mass and relaxation time, but also by the relationship between the Fermi level and the one-dimensional conduction band half-width. The obtained results are in good agreement with available experimental data on layered compounds.
