Ab. Rinkevich et Yg. Smorodinsky, ELECTRON ABSORPTION OF ULTRASOUND IN PLASTICALLY DEFORMED TUNGSTEN, Journal of physics. Condensed matter, 6(3), 1994, pp. 693-698
The absorption of longitudinal and transverse ultrasound in plasticall
y deformed single crystals of tungsten was measured as a function of t
emperature. The maximum in the temperature dependence of the electron
absorption was found to be more pronounced in deformed specimens. The
electron absorption of longitudinal waves decreases in a magnetic fiel
d as the degree of plastic deformation is raised. The results are inte
rpreted, allowing for intersheet scattering of electrons in hot spots
of the Fermi surface.
