Abstract

In this paper a method is discussed to solve the Boltzmann equation in the surroundings of interfaces. The velocity dependence of the distribution function caused by the influence of an interface is exactly evaluated and discussed. The solution is determined by the scattering properties of the material represented by the cross sections of the scattering centers, by the relaxation times of diffusion and of resistivity, and by the quality of the interface. Furthermore, the developed method is used to calculate the electric conductivity for a system consisting of two infinite phases conected by a plane interface.

APS and the Physical Review Editorial Office Continue to Support Researchers

COVID-19 has impacted many institutions and organizations around the world, disrupting the progress of research. Through this difficult time APS and the Physical Review editorial office are fully equipped and actively working to support researchers by continuing to carry out all editorial and peer-review functions and publish research in the journals as well as minimizing disruption to journal access.

We appreciate your continued effort and commitment to helping advance science, and allowing us to publish the best physics journals in the world. And we hope you, and your loved ones, are staying safe and healthy.

Ways to Access APS Journal Articles Off-Campus

Many researchers now find themselves working away from their institutions and, thus, may have trouble accessing the Physical Review journals. To address this, we have been improving access via several different mechanisms. See Off-Campus Access to Physical Review for further instructions.
