Electron-phonon relaxation time in mercury

Abstract

Electron scattering times determined by Azbel'-Kaner cyclotron resonance in mercury are discussed in terms of the electron-phonon interaction. Anisotropy in the electron-phonon relaxation time is explained in terms of an orbital α 2 k (ω)F k (ω) function which describes the electron-phonon interaction and the phonon spectrum. AT 5 temperature dependence of the electron-phonon relaxation frequency is also considered.
