You may recall that years ago, I suggested on this list that strained lattices might result in a preferential vibration direction for the atoms of the lattice (Bose condensate of phonons). That in turn leads to vibration primarily in a single plain. When that happens, ballistic conduction of electrons might be possible parallel to those vibration plains, since the passage of the electron would rarely be interrupted.
