Abstract

Abstract We study the effects of zero-point motion on the scattering of electrons by light interstitial impurities in metals. Expressions are obtained for the electron self-energy at the Fermi level. Significant isotope effects can occur when the scatterer and the electron wave-function in the pure metal are of different parity.
