Abstract
Matrix elements are calculated for acoustic-mode scattering of holes in the valence band structure typified by germanium. Whitfield's generalization of the deformation potential theorem is used to calculate the electron-phonon interaction; his method is, however, extended to include the spin-lattice coupling. A general expression for the electron-phonon interaction matrix element is obtained, and calculations are presented for some special directions in k-space.
