Electron mobility in quasi-one-dimensional conductors: A theoretical study

Abstract

We present a calculation of the temperature dependence of the electronic mobility in quasi-one-dimensional conductor systems due to scattering by longitudinal-acoustic phonons, using the memory-function formalism. We expect that the theoretical results here obtained can be applied to quantum-well wires, to linear chain mercury compounds such as ${\mathrm{Hg}}_{3\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\delta}}}$${\mathrm{AsF}}_{6}$, and to some organic compounds that behave like one-dimensional electron-gas systems.
