The driving force in electromigration

Abstract: Linear response expressions for the driving force on an impurity in an electric current carrying metal are reduced exactly to a simple form for an impurity in jellium. The linear response expression for the wind force is naturally split up into two terms. One term is exactly equal to the well known contribution due to momentum transfer of the electrons to the impurity. The other term leads to an exact cancellation of the direct force.
