The formulation of the many-body problem by MARTIN and SCHWINGER is applied to a system of free electrons interacting with a phonon bath. Simplifying the general expression for the wave vector and frequency dependent complex conductivity to the case of a static dc situation the conductivity is expressed in terms of the LAPLACE transform of an appropriate GREEN'S function. By means of a simple diagram method a transport equation for this function is derived. In the lowest approximation the solution of this equation gives the BLOCH-GRÜNEISEN law for the conductivity of metals at low temperatures.


The results of measurements on 20 transition elements are reported giving values for the thermal resistivity, W , from 2 to about 140 °K and for electrical resistivity, p , from 2 to about 300 °K. Values of the ‘ideal’ resistivities, W i and p i { (due to scattering of the electrons by thermal vibrations), are deduced from these and tabulated for various temperatures. Comparisons are made with values for Cu, Ag, Au and Na and with the predictions of the ‘standard’ theory, i.e. solutions of the transport equation developed by Bloch, Grüneisen, Wilson, etc. Excepting Mn, p i follows a Bloch—Grüneisen function tolerably down to op5, although slight anomalies are shown by V, Cr, Fe, Co and Ni; at low temperatures behaviour is varied but below 10 °K in Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Pd, Pt and perhaps in W and Nb, p i appears to vary nearly as T<super>2</super>. The parameter, piM 6 & (at 273 °K) has rather similar values for different members of each group, e.g. for Ti, Zr and Hf of group IV A. The ideal thermal resistivity, Wif can generally be approximated by the relation, WiIW ao = 2(Tld)2J 5(dlT), although for many elements, W i falls more rapidly than T 2 below010. Measurements on the relatively poor conductors, e.g. Ti, Zr and Hf, suggest the presence of an appreciable lattice conductivity, which affects the confidence with which values can be deduced for W i in these elements.
