Abstract

In the kinetic approach, the electrical conductivity of a thin conducting tube is calculated using diffuse boundary conditions for the distribution function. The case of an anisotropic isoenergetic surface of a conductor having the form of a triaxial ellipsoid, one of the axes of which is parallel to the axis of the tube, is considered. The dependences of the modulus and the conductivity argument on the effective mass of charge carriers are analyzed.
