This chapter considers the transport properties of charge carriers in semiconductors and near-insulators. That is, it discusses in detail the mobility and thermopower associated with a given density of carriers introduced by some unspecified means into the conduction or valence band. Topics covered include spherical energy surfaces, scattering by impurities and imperfections, lattice scattering, scattering by optical modes, the many-valley model, Piezo resistance, and phonon drag.

Keywords:   transport properties, spherical energy surfaces, scattering, many-valley model, Piezo resistance, phonon drag
