摘要
In this paper, we present a fluid model for electrons and positrons in structured and soft-condensed matter utilizing dilute gas phase cross-sections together with a structure factor for the medium. Generalizations of the Wannier energy and Einstein (Nernst-Townsend) relations to account for coherent scattering effects present in soft-condensed matter are presented along with new expressions directly relating transport properties in the dilute gas and the structured matter phases. The theory is applied to electrons in a benchmark Percus-Yevick model and positrons in liquid argon, and the accuracy is tested against a multi-term solution of Boltzmann's equation (White and Robson 2011 Phys. Rev. E 84 031125).
