KINETIC PHENOMENA IN METALS WITH QUANTUM DEFECTS

The interaction of quantum defects (defectons) with conduction band el ectrons is considered, and there are taken properly into account the i nfrared divergencies caused by this interaction and substantially affe cting the width of the energy band of defectons and their contribution to physical properties of metals. The interaction between the defects and with other lattice imperfections is considered as well, along wit h processes of clustering of quantum defects due to such interaction. There are calculated the temperature dependencies of kinetic coefficie nts for metals containing free defectons and two-level systems that ca n arise when quantum defects are trapped by heavy immobile impurities.
