Abstract
The authors present magnetoconductivity results for a series of CaAl(Au) and CaAl(Ag) amorphous alloys. They have carried out a systematic study of the effect of varying the strength of the spin-orbit scattering in these alloys by introducing small concentrations of Au,Ag and Cu. The data are analysed using existing theories of quantum interference and electron interaction effects in disordered metals, from which estimates of the inelastic and spin-orbit scattering times have been obtained. The inelastic scattering is largely unaffected by the heavy-element doping while the spin-orbit scattering rate systematically increases and saturates at about 3% Au with a value of 1*1012 s-1.
