Mobility … expresses
how “easy” electrons can
move (drift) under the
influence of an electric
field; it is directly
related to relaxation (or
mean scattering) time
Conductivity … the
ability of a solid to
conduct electricity
(cousin of mobility!)

J = σE, Ohm’s Law
•
OHM’S LAW (V=IR!)
Temperature Dependence of Resistivity
•
Electrons are scattered by the vibrating metal ions
•
Therefore the time between collisions (scattering time)
can be affected by the vibration frequency … which
implies that the mobility and therefore the conductivity
and resistivity are also affected by the vibrating atoms
(ions in metals)
•
What should be the relationship between frequency of
vibration and time between collisions ?
–
•
•
The higher the freq. the shorter the time because the
metal ions are vibrating faster (i.e. higher KE) and
therefore colliding more often with moving electrons
Shorter scattering times imply lower mobility … lower
conductivity and therefore higher resistivity!
(the math/derivation is in the book! Let’s look at the
expressions…)

IMPORTANT to remember the dependence of conductivity …
mobility … etc. on T! … i.e. directly/inversely proportional
Alloys … and Matthiessen’s Rule
•
Previous discussion was based on the ASSUMPTION that the
material was a pure metal & perfect crystal!
… i.e. no impurities no point defects etc.
•
When impurities are present then one needs to consider two
scattering mechanisms: (1) host atoms (2) impurity atoms
•
The result

where subscript L is for Lattice and I is for Impurity

•
Therefore the effective mobility is lower (than that of a pure

Temperature Dependence of Resistivity
•
All non-intrinsic effects (impurities, crystal defects etc.) on
the reisstivity can be “summed” up in a “residual” reisistivity
term and the resistivity can be re-written as:
ρ  ρT  ρR  AT  B
•
NOTE that the thermal vibrations term is temperature
dependent!! but the extrinsic component is not.
•
TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT OF RESISTIVITY α is the
fractional change in resistivity per unit temperature at the

Nordheim’s Rule of Solid Solutions
•
A simple way to determine the effect on resistivity
component – the one due to “alloying impurities”
ρI  CX(1- X)
where X is the fraction of the solute and C is a constant - the Nordheim coefficien t
•
… and combining Matthiessen’s and Nordheim’s rules then
we get
ρ  ρMATRIX  CX(1- X)

Solid solutions are homogenous and mixing takes place at

Thermal Conduction

Vibrating Cu ions
Thermal conduction in a metal involves transferring energy from the hot region to
the cold region by conduction electrons. More energetic electrons (shown with
longer velocity vectors) from the hotter regions arrive at cooler regions and
collide there with lattice vibrations and transfer their energy. Lengths of arrowed
lines on atoms represent the magnitudes of atomic vibrations.
Thermal Conductivity

Good Electrical Conductors (like metals) are also good
Thermal Conductors …
Why ??
… electrons are responsible for the electrical and
thermal conductivity …
… they pick up the thermal energy from vibrating atoms
and transfer to atoms elsewhere …
It is easy to think of Thermal Conductivity the same way
we think of Electrical Conductivity …

how does the heat transfer

The Hall Effect
Example with p-type semiconductor; i.e.
holes are the majority charge carriers;
 apply voltage in x direction i.e. current
Ix.
 apply a B-field in the z-direction.
 Total Force on the charge carriers due to
E and B fields is

  
F  q(E  v  B)
 The y-component of the force is
Fy  q(Ey  v x  Bz )
 As the holes flow in the x-direction they
experience a force in the y-direction due
to the B-field.
 Holes will accumulate in the -y end of the
bar setting up an electric field, i.e. a
voltage VAB in the y direction.
 The net force in the y-direction becomes zero when the two components of the
force i.e. due to the electric and due to the magnetic field are equal.
The Hall Effect
 The “setting up” of the E-field in the ydirection is known as the Hall Effect.
 The voltage VAB is known as the Hall
Voltage.
 This experiment is used to measure the
mobility of the charge carriers as
explained below:

The Hall Effect
Note: the current and magnetic fields are
known quantities since they are externally
applied; the hall voltage can be
measured.
 The resistivity r of the sample can also
be calculated by measuring the resistance
R of the bar.

Key Points
• Direction of electric field is also the direction of conventional
current.
• Hall electric field is set by the movement charge due to Lorentz
force in the presence of a magnetic field.
