Abstract. Consideration of different problems of physical kinetics shows that non-equilibrium distribution function of band carriers and, consequently, kinetic coefficients significantly depend on the specific shape of bands and mutual interaction of carriers. The most impressive results are related with interband scattering of mobile particles belonging to many-valley systems.

Keywords: kinetic equation, collision integral, non-equilibrium distribution function, many-valley system.
