The total conductivity is illustrated by the image below. To calculate total conductivity, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Lattice Vibration Conductivity (Kl) and Electron Thermal Conductivity (Ke).
The formula for calculating the total conductivity:
K = Kl + Ke
Where:
K = Total Conductivity
Kl = Lattice Vibration Conductivity
And then, Ke = Electron Thermal Conductivity
Let’s solve an example;
Find the total conductivity when the lattice vibration conductivity is 32 and the electron thermal conductivity is 8.
This implies that;
Kl = Lattice Vibration Conductivity = 32
Ke = Electron Thermal Conductivity = 8
That is, K = Kl + Ke
K = 32 + 8
K = 40
Therefore, the total conductivty is 40 S/m.
Calculating the Lattice Vibration Conductivity when the Total Conductivity and the Electron Thermal Conductivity are Given
Kl = K – Ke
Where:
Kl = Lattice Vibration Conductivity
K = Total Conductivity
And then, Ke = Electron Thermal Conductivity
Let’s solve an example;
Find the lattice vibration conductivity when the total conductivity is 24 and the electron thermal conductivity is 6.
This implies that;

K = Total Conductivity = 24
Ke = Electron Thermal Conductivity = 6
That is, Kl = K – Ke
Kl = 24 – 6
Kl = 18
Therefore, the lattice vibration conductivity is 18.

Calculating the Electron Thermal Conductivity when the Total Conductivity and the Lattice Vibration Conductivity are Given
Ke = K – Kl
Where:
Ke = Electron Thermal Conductivity
K = Total Conductivity
And then, Kl = Lattice Vibration Conductivity
Let’s solve an example;
Find the electron thermal conductivity when the total conductivity is 30 and the lattice vibration conductivity is 15.
This implies that;
K = Total Conductivity = 30
Kl = Lattice Vibration Conductivity = 15
So, Ke = K – Kl
Ke = 30 – 15
Ke = 15
Therefore, the electron thermal conductivity is 15.
