21. Band filling leads to a Fermi electron (or hole) velocity, given by vf = mDOS (3 π2 N0 M)13 for M equivalent band minima and the density of states effective mass mDOS. The electron-phonon scattering rate is then approximately described by 1 τph =1 τ0 + vf lph, where lph is the electron mean free path. For acoustic phonon scattering, lph is independent of vf [see J. Bardeen and W. Shockley, Phys. Rev. PHRVAO 0031-899X 10.1103/PhysRev.80.72 80, 72 (1950)] and can be estimated from lph = τ0 3 kb T mDOS.
