Abstract
The influence of normal processes of electron-electron and phonon-phonon scattering on quasiparticle momentum relaxation in nonequilibrium electron-phonon systems of degenerate semiconductors is investigated. A system of kinetic equations is solved for the electron and phonon distribution functions, and the kinetic coefficients of a semiconductor are calculated in the linear approximation in the degeneracy parameter. The influence of normal scattering of quasiparticles on the electrical conductivity, thermopower, and heat conductivity of a degenerate semiconductor is analyzed. Redistribution of the phonon momentum in N processes within each branch of the vibrational spectrum, as well as among different branches, is taken into account.
