Under an applied field, the electron drifts while still being scattered
(a) A conduction electron in the electron gas moves about randomly in a metal (with
a mean speed u) being frequently and randomly scattered by thermal vibrations of
the atoms. In the absence of an applied field there is no net drift in any direction.
(b) In the presence of an applied field, Ex, there is a net drift along the x-direction.
This net drift along the force of the field is superimposed on the random motion of
the electron. After many scattering events the electron has been displaced by a net
distance, x, from its initial position toward the positive terminal

Scattering of Electrons
Scattering of an electron from the thermal vibrations of the atoms. The electron
travels a mean distance = u between collisions. Since the scattering cross-sectional
area is S, in the volume s there must be at least one scatterer, Ns (Su ) = 1.

Electrical resistivity vs. composition at room temperature in Cu-Au alloys.
The quenched sample (dashed curve) is obtained by quenching the liquid, and the Cu and
Au atoms are randomly mixed. The resistivity obeys the Nordheim rule. When the
quenched sample is annealed or the liquid is slowly cooled (solid curve), certain
compositions (Cu3Au and CuAu) result in an ordered crystalline structure in which the Cu
and Au atoms are positioned in an ordered fashion in the crystal and the scattering
effect is reduced.

Thermal Conduction
Thermal conduction in a metal involves transferring energy from the hot region to the cold
region by conduction electrons. More energetic electrons (shown with longer velocity
vectors) from the hotter regions arrive at cooler regions and collide there with lattice
vibrations and transfer their energy. Lengths of arrowed lines on atoms represent the
magnitudes of atomic vibrations.

Semiconductors
Hole = Missing electron in a Si-Si bond
A hole behaves like a independent positive entity
(a) Thermal vibrations of the atoms rupture a bond and release a free electron into the
crystal. A hole is left in the broken bond which has an effective positive charge.
(b) An electron in a neighboring bond can jump and repair this bond and thereby create a
hole in its original site; the hole has been displaced.
(c) When a field is applied both holes and electrons contribute to electrical conduction.

Low-conductivity Solids
(a) Grain boundaries cause scattering of the electron and therefore add to the
Resistivity by the Matthiessen’s rule.
(b) For a very grainy solid, the electron is scattered from grain boundary to grain boundary
and the mean free path is approximately equal to the mean grain diameter.
