Extract

Sommerfeld has recently made a very important advance in the theory of electric conduction by employing the conception of electron waves and the new mechanics. His theory has been most successful in explaining a large number of phenomena. It treats them, however, from the macroscopic point of view and does not examine the atomic processes involved. The present note, intended to be merely tentative, seeks to attack the latter aspect of the problem.
