Abstract
An expression is obtained for the mobility of conduction‐band electrons in rare‐gas solids when both vacancy scattering and phonon scattering are effective. Deformation potential constants are obtained by a fit to experimental data. It is shown that large concentrations of vacancies which would result from the lowering of the vacancy formation energy by nonpairwise interatomic interactions might significantly affect the electronic mobility near the triple point of the solid.Keywords
