The transport properties of solids, as well as the many optical phenomena in them are determined by the scattering of current carriers. This book elucidates the state of the art in the research on the scattering mechanisms for current carriers in metals and semiconductors, and describes experiments in which these mechanisms are most dramatically manifested. With the knowledge of the probability of elementary scattering events and the application of the idea of a test particle the following subjects are dealt with: electronic transport theory based on the test-particle and correlation-function concepts; scattering by phonons, impurities, surfaces, magnons and dislocations; electron-electron scattering and the electron temperature; two-phonon scattering, spin-flip scattering, scattering in degenerate and many band models. 291 refs.; 104 figs.; 11 tabs.
