Abstract
A general procedure is given for calculating the low-temperature magnetoresistivity of impurities in metals taking into account both the Bloch wave character of the electronic states and multiple scattering effects. The linearised Boltzmann equation is solved for anisotropic Fermi surfaces by expanding the distribution function in sets of polynomials of the Cartesian components of the electronic velocity orthonormalised on the Fermi surface (Fermi surface harmonics). This is valid for arbitrary shapes of the Fermi surface and for all magnetic field strength with the exception of the quantum limit.
