Coulomb effects in electronic transport

Charge transport in metals and semiconductors is often dominated by electron-impurity and electron-phonon scattering. Coulomb effects could be found in small corrections to the leading behavior, drag effects in specially fabricated samples, compensated semimetals, and hydrodynamic phenomena in ultra-pure materials. In contrast, electrical resistivity in strongly correlated systems is poorly understood. Understanding the fate of electron-phonon scattering in these materials may offer a route towards future advancements.

Automated summary

Charge transport in metals and semiconductors is mainly affected by electron-impurity and electron-phonon scattering, while the understanding of electrical resistivity in strongly correlated systems is still limited. Understanding the role of electron-phonon scattering in these materials may contribute to future advancements in science.
