In order to calculate the electrical conductivity of a plasma an approximate formula has been derived which is based on an improvement of the expression corresponding to a Lorentzian gas. The deviation from the exact solution (which is based on the Boltzmann equation of a plasma) is in most cases lower than 5% and will exceed this deviation only in exceptional cases.The calculations have been performed for xenon and neon.

Abstract The influence of short-range order on the residual resistivity of Cu3Au is investigated within a formalism previously reported. As compared to analogous methods based on the Boltzmann equation, the scattering of electrons by three correlated impurity centers is included. The characteristic numbers needed to describe the short-range order between the three centers can be determined within narrow limits by probability theory, using measured values for the Cowly-parameters. The change of restistivity due to the short-range order is found to be reasonably dealt with by including the two-center correlation only. However, as is further shown, this correlation cannot be taken into account correctly by the Boltzmann equation. For the electrical conductivity of alloys an expression is proposed which is to replace the familiar semiclassical result obtained from the Boltzmann equation.

The Boltzmann equation is set up for the conduction electrons in a crystal in which the scattering is due to the polarization waves of the lattice, and it is pointed out that at low temperatures it is impossible to define a unique time of relaxation for the scattering process. The Boltzmann equation is solved by means of a variational method, and exact expressions for the electrical conductivity and the thermo-electric power are obtained in the form of ratios of infinite determinants. By approximating to the exact solutions, relatively simple expressions are derived which are used to discuss the dependence of the conduction phenomena upon the temperature and upon the degree of degeneracy of the electron gas.
