Abstract :
The present theory of electric conduction in solid conductors and semiconductors is reviewed here by a recognized authority who interprets some of the results of modern physical research in the light of their bearing upon the theory of electric conductivity. First the author gives a short review of the present theory, then discusses the breakdown of ionic crystals, the quantum theory, and cold discharge phenomena.
