Abstract:The test-particle formalism of Rostoker is applied to electrons which move only in one dimension through randomly distributed, singly charged ions. This model is appropriate to the limit of infinite magnetic field. The test particle equations are solved to find the conductivity 0. (k, co),for arbitrary wave number k, neglecting electron-electron correlations. In the long-wavelength limit k= 0 our result agrees with previous work. We then find explicit expressions for 0. (~), using degenerate statistics for the… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
