![]() | Mattis, Daniel C. | Decay of electron waves in a random medium | This paper reports calculation of the time-correlation function of an electron wave of given wave vector k in a three-dimensional medium with weak scatterers randomly distributed. An initial parabolic decay is followed by the usual exponential law which, asymptotically, gives way to a 1/t3 law. | Scattering; Potential; Coupling | 1982 |

![]() | Mattis, Daniel C. | Phonon model of vacancy-interstitial pair formation in solids | Bonds between neighboring atoms in a solid are imperfect harmonic oscillators. Through consideration of the nonlinearities, it is shown that vacancy-interstitial defect pairs can be described in terms of phonon dynamical variables. The effective spring constants are determined by self-consistency... | Harmonic; Potential; Homogeneous | 1984 |
