Abstract

An expression is derived for the scattering of electrons by inhomogeneous strain fields in terms of the scattering of electrons by low frequency lattice vibrations, as deduced from the low temperature intrinsic thermal resistivity and the lattice thermal conductivity. This is applied to the scattering of electrons by dislocations and stacking faults. An expression for the scattering of lattice waves by stacking faults is also derived. The validity of these results is discussed.
