Abstract
The primary purpose of this calculation is to develop a method for incorporating recently calculated lattice vibrational spectra into the present theory of transport properties of metals. A secondary objective is incorporating into the calculation all of the well-known contributions to the electron-phonon part of electrical and thermal resistivities. Included are Umklapp processes, electron-transverse wave interactions, and the Bardeen scattering probability. A final objective of the study is to determine qualitatively the effect of this calculation on the agreement between theory and experiment.Keywords
