摘要
The spin-orbit scattering (SOS) of the Pb and Bi impurities in Cs, K, and Na films is measured by means of weak localization. The dimensionless SOS cross section for Pb in Cs (in units of 4 pi/k(F)(2):) has the large value of sigma(so)*approximate to 2/3. This SOS cross section is the absolute maximum possible for (s,p) impurities (if one neglects d and larger l scattering). The SOS contributes almost 50% to the total elastic scattering.
