Abstract
The ideas behind the theory of inverse transport coefficients are outlined by considering two classical examples:
-
(a)
Self-diffusion in a classical liquid. Here the diffusion constant D is related to a friction constant ζ. In turn, ζ is connected with the force-force correlation function.
-
(b)
The electrical resistivity of a classical plasma. The quantum-mechanical generalization of the forceforce correlation function is then introduced. This correlation function is shown explicitly to lead to the correct electrical resistivity of metals and metallic alloys for
-
(c)
Dilute impurity scattering, both in the Born approximation and for arbitrary phase shifts.
-
(d)
Weak scattering (Ziman) theory of liquid metals Approximations applicable under strong scattering conditions are also outlined.
-
(e)
The Kondo effect arising from conduction electron scattering from a localized magnetic moment.
