Abstract
We utilize a geometric argument to determine the effects of boundary scattering on the carrier mean-free path in samples of various cross sections. Analytic expressions for samples with rectangular and circular cross sections are obtained. We also outline a method for incorporating these results into calculations of the thermal conductivity.
