Abstract
The anisotropic scattering of holes by acoustic and optical phonons in germanium is investigated with allowance for the complex structure of the energy spectrum and the specifics of the scattering mechanisms. The temperature dependence of the hole mobility is analyzed in the temperature interval 10°K ⩽ T ⩽ 300°K. The results are in good agreement with the experimental data.
