Temperature and field dependent scattering in noble metal alloys

  • Published:

Abstract

The scattering formalism of Blaker and Harris which is appropriate to potential scattering in dilute cubic alloys is modified to include the spin-dependent scattering. An expression for the total T-matrix which describes the ordinary and exchange scattering by magnetic impurities is obtained. The new formalism is compared with other work in the area and is used to discuss the dHvA data for Kondo alloys based on Cu and Au.
