Abstract
A small proportion of the events in which a conduction electron is scattered by an impurity atom involve the emission or absorption of a phonon. An investigation is made of the suggestion that such incoherent electron-phonon interactions may lead to appreciable deviations from Matthiessen's rule. The effect of such processes on the electrical resistivity is found to be too small to be observable.Keywords
