The effect of magnetic impurity scattering in Au films
Tóm tắt
The magnetic impurity scattering plays an important role in the phase coherence behavior of thin films. By using the thickness and disorder dependences of the low temperature logarithmic anomaly in resistivity we are able to determine the concentration of magnetic impurities in Au films and demonstrate that the low temperature saturation or plateau in phase decoherence time is closely related with the Kondo effect.
