The zero-field mobility of electrons in dilute gases at low temperatures is studied. We consider the case where the de Broglie wavelength of the electron is large enough that the mobility calculation must be formulated using quantum mechanical kinetic theory. The electron mobility is then computed as a function of the gas density with the approximation that the gas is considered as a collection of fixed scatterers. We evaluate the first two terms in the density expansion of the mobility, and compare these results with experiments.
