Abstract
Charge and energy transport comprises a very large part of the physics of semiconductors. The aim of the present set of lectures is a discussion of some of the fundamental concepts of transport theory.

Recent mobility measurements on substituted durene crystals bring out the importance of this point. Furthermore, Z. Burshtein and D. F. Williams, J. Chem, Phys. 66, 2746 (1977), have also established that conduction in substituted durene occurs definitely by the band mechanism.
