Electron-electron Relaxation in Disordered Interacting Systems
We study the relaxation of a non-equilibrium carrier distribution under the influence of the electron-electron interaction in the presence of disorder. Based on the Anderson model, our Hamiltonian is composed from a single particle part including the disorder and a two-particle part accounting for the Coulomb interaction. We apply the equation-of-motion approach for the density matrix, which pr...
متن کاملElectron–phonon scattering in disordered metallic films
The quantum interference between ‘pure’ electron–phonon and electron-boundary/impurity scattering drastically changes the electron–phonon relaxation rate. If impurities and boundaries vibrate in the same way as the host lattice, the electron–phonon relaxation rate is significantly decreased. In the presence of the scattering potential that does not vibrate with phonons (e.g. rigid boundaries, i...
متن کاملElectron weak localization in disordered films.
The logarithmic temperature dependence of resistivity, commonly observed in disordered films, has generally been interpreted as evidence for electron weak localization, with its slope indicative of the inelastic scattering mechanism. In this work, we show that the two-dimensional ~2D! quantum percolation ~QP! model, pertaining to disordered metallic films, predicts a sample-size-dependent lnL c...
متن کاملPhase Relaxation of Electrons in Disordered Thin Ferromagnetic Films
The phase relaxation caused by scattering off spin wave excitations in disordered ferromagnetic films is considered. In the case that the spin wave spectrum is gapped, it is shown that the corresponding phase relaxation rate at temperatures above the gap follows a linear dependence in both two and three dimensions, similar to what has been found previously for clean systems. In the absence of t...
متن کاملEnergy relaxation in the spin-polarized disordered electron liquid.
Energy relaxation is studied in the spin-polarized disordered electron systems in the diffusive regime. We derive a quantum kinetic equation in which the kernel of the electron-electron collision integral explicitly depends on the electron magnetization. As a consequence, the inelastic scattering rate has a nonmonotonic dependence on the spin polarization of the system.
