Thermoelectric power of nearly magnetic actinide systems

The thermoelectric power is computed within the spin-fluctuation theory, with including both the umklapp processes and the possibility of a distorted Fermi surface which are found to be important. The electrical and thermal resistivities are also computed and the effect of umklapp processes is much less important there than in the case of the thermopower. An application of the model to the thermopowers of Pd, Pt, Np, Pu, and ${\mathrm{UA}1\mathrm{}}_2$ is finally presented.
