Electronic Transport Studies of Simple Metals Below 1K and Layered Metallic Systems (Materials Research)

W·P·普拉特、J·巴斯和P·A·施罗德教授提出了三个研究项目。利用他们的超低温、非常高精度的运输测量系统，他们将继续进行碱金属的研究。由于这类金属的电子结构非常简单，所提出的测量可以用来解释一些对金属中的电导很重要的输运现象。特别是，电子位错散射的性质和电荷密度波效应的可能影响将被研究。我们将研究银和其他金属烧结矿的输运性质，以获得有关复杂几何结构体系中电子行为的信息。将制作各种层状金属超晶格，并进行输运和其他测量。

Professors W. P. Pratt, J. Bass, and P. A. Schroeder propose three research projects. Using their ultralow temperature, very high precision transport measuring system, they will continue their study of the alkali metals. Because the electronic structure of such metals is very simple, the proposed measurements can be used to elucidate a number of transport phenomena important for electric conduction in metals. In particular, the nature of electron-dislocation scattering and the possible effects of Charge-Density-Wave effects will be studied. The transport properties of silver and other metallic sinters will be studied so as to obtain information about electron behavior in a system with complex geometry. A variety of layered metallic superlattices will be fabricated and transport and other measurements will be made.
