Ballistic conduction refers to the phenomenon in which charge carriers, such as electrons, move through a conductive material without scattering. In typical conductive materials, charge carriers encounter impurities, lattice vibrations (phonons), and other defects that scatter them, leading to resistive losses and limiting the overall conductivity.
