WAVE PROPAGATION IN SOLID STATE PLASMAS.

Abstract

A completely consistent set of Alfven wave velocities for bismuth has been obtained, and disagreements among other work resolved. The quantum oscillation study of Williams and Smith has been completed. This has yielded information about the dielectric constant and the hole energy gap for bismuth. Theoretical studies have proposed the Frenkel defect as the dominant source of scattering of electrons and holes in bismuth. Surface resistance measurements of bismuth have shown this to be a good technique for observing the de Haas-Shubnikov effect. (Author)
