Inelastic Lifetime of Conduction Electrons as Determined from Non-Localization Methods

  • Conference paper
Localization, Interaction, and Transport Phenomena

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences ((SSSOL,volume 61))

Abstract

A review is given of methods to measure the inelastic scattering time of electrons in dirty metals, complementary to localization experiments. Most important are measurements of nonequilibrium superconductivity effects. In some cases the electron-phonon time can be determined separately. Values obtained for the scattering time in various superconducting materials are given.
