Electron Theory: Electrical Resistivity and Thermal Conductivity

Description

This lecture delves into the electron theory, exploring the impact of temperature and microstructural features on electrical resistivity and thermal conductivity in metals. Topics covered include the influence of impurities, vacancies, dislocations, grain boundaries, and thermal vibrations on resistivity, the effects of finite size on electrical properties, the role of alloying elements in solid solution, and the breakdown of the Wiedemann-Franz law.
