Abstract
Recent publications by the author have employed classical physics (especially electromagnetic theory and phenomenological thermodynamics) to analyze quantitatively the behavior of conduction electrons in metals and semiconductors. The topics discussed here include enthalpy of electrons, electronic heat capacity, departure from Ohm’s law for semiconductors, implications for junction theory, and an extension of Maxwell’s equations. These applications suggest that complex electronic devices can be analyzed more effectively by (nonmechanistic) classical physics than by present electron theories based on quantum mechanics.
