Yes, for all three ideal lattices under the stated assumptions. Cubic symmetry and equal rates make with , so . Positive ions drift along the field. The current coefficient contains , so negative charge carriers would also produce a conventional current along the field, although their particle drift would reverse. Anisotropic barriers or a field strong enough to invalidate linear response would require a new calculation.
