Nuclear spins with s >1/2 may cause a strong dephasing in dirty limit due to the quadrupole coupling to the random potential fluctuations caused by static impurities and lattice imperfections.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2000-04-29T13:34:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "nuclear spins", "electron scattering", "mean free path", "random potential fluctuations", "lattice imperfections" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2000cond.mat..5005D" } } }
