Electron-electron scattering in transition metals

Abstract

Results of temperature-dependent parallel-field radio-frequency-size-effect measurements on rhenium and temperature-dependent resistance measurements on molybdenum are reported. The present data along with existing data on radio-frequency-size-effect and resistance measurements on molybdenum, tungsten, and rhenium show that a definite correlation between the two types of measurements exists. A discussion of the implication of these results on the observation of electron-electron scattering in transition metals is given.
