A Simple Classical Approach to Mobility in Amorphous Materials

  • Chapter
Physics of Disordered Materials

Part of the book series: Institute for Amorphous Studies Series ((IASS))

Abstract

A simple and essentially classical formalism, valid for both amorphous and crystalline materials, is used to compute the phonon component of electron mobilities in amorphous materials. A significant part of this formalism is a simple, physical concept of a coupling constant valid for all of the electron interactions in a solid both classical and quantum.
