However, as the lattice vibrations can be treated as a classical field, it is natural to choose a coherent state, instead of a phonon Fock state, to describe lattice vibrations. In this picture, the electron scattering by the lattice vibrations can be explained without phonon creation and annihilation like an impurity scattering. It turned out that the calculated resistivity in this way gives the same result to the conventional theory up to a factor of order unity. Also, Anderson localization of an electron by the deformation potential was observed. Using the coherent state representation helps understanding electron coherence effects such as Anderson localization and Shubnikov-de Haas effect, which was not naturally described in the incoherent Boltzmann transport theory.
