Your explanation that "The concentration of the holes, produced as a result of thermal excitations, is higher on the hotter side of the p-type semiconductor" and "electrons on the colder side moving to the hotter side" is really nice and helps me a lot in understanding the flow of electrons in...

This question is about seebeck effect. If the movement of hole(positive charge) happens because of electrons moving in opposite direction, how is the heat carried by hole when one side of p-type semiconductor is heated? Is it from lattice vibration?
