The kinetic theory of metallic conduction

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  24 October 2008

Extract

1. The kinetic theory of metallic conduction is usually supposed to lead to formulae for the conductivity coefficients which in some respects are very much at variance with the actual phenomena. In spite of the important successes achieved by the theory, which in themselves are almost sufficient evidence that the fundamental basis is correct, these discrepancies are regarded in some quarters as so serious as to warrant the complete rejection of the theory as beine inadequate to account properly for the facts.
