Abstract

The original derivation of the formula for the mean free path of an electron in a conductive multiply connected domain in three-dimensional space, for which the Ostrogradsky–Gauss theorem is valid, is given, subject to scattering from the boundary of the domain according to Lambert’s law. The result can be used to predict the optical characteristics of nanocomposites with metal-coated inclusions.
