Abstract
The problem of electron-electron scattering is solved using the Boltzmann equation and a special set of basis functions. This basis treats different scattering mechanisms on the same footing. Corrections beyond the level of Matthiessen’s rule are easily generated. The resulting Boltzmann equation has a simple tridiagonal form for Coulomb scattering, and values of transport properties converge rapidly. Results for electrical and thermal conductivity, the Lorentz number, and the Hall coefficient are presented.Keywords
