If the cluster size is large in comparison with the Fermi wavelength, the scattering cross section shows sharp resonances as a function of incident angle and electron wavevector. In this regime, due to dominant contribution of scattering by small angles, the transport cross section can be much smaller than the quantum one, which can be verified experimentally by comparing the Dingle temperature and the electron mean free path.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-05-25T10:03:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "charged impurities", "electron mean free path", "transport cross section", "small angles", "sharp resonances" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
