A theoretical study of dingle temperatures and scattering rates in Cu(Al) and Cu(Ni) within the cluster formalism

The cluster formalism developed by Lodder is used to calculate electron scattering rates and Dingle temperatures in dilute alloys of Cu(Al) and Cu(Ni). The results are compared to quantities obtained experimentally using magnetic induced surface state resonances. The experimental results for Cu(Al)...

Description
Summary:The cluster formalism developed by Lodder is used to calculate electron scattering rates and Dingle temperatures in dilute alloys of Cu(Al) and Cu(Ni). The results are compared to quantities obtained experimentally using magnetic induced surface state resonances. The experimental results for Cu(Al) are reproduced nicely. For Cu(Ni) a discrepancy between theory and experiment is found, which remains unsolved.
