Hallo guys,Im kinda confused about something and hope you can help me. Let me introduce you to it.

we take a look on one Mechanismen to the spin hall effect, skew scattering effect. i just read that you can see this contribution only in the clean Limit. So that's really strange for me cause the skew scattering should be stronger if you have more impurities, so why it is stronger if you have a cleaner material?

That whole Argumentation is based on the Thing that the skew scattering is proportional to the so called Momentum Relaxation time. Thats the Point which doesn't make sense to me because the time tells you Long it will take when an electron will get scatter. For skew scattering it should be invers proportional to it cause if your electrons Momentum Relaxation time is Shorter, you get more scattering. And therefore more contribution to a spin current.

You can read it in several papers, especially in Hoffmann-2013-Spin hall effect in Metals. I really have no physical Picture why the skew scattering mechanism is behave like that but maybe you.
Ist also the same strange Thing with the intrinsic contribution which is strong in the unclean Regime of an regarded material. Why isn't here the skew scattering the stronger one?

Does nobody can help me with that?
 
There are some things that could help your chances of getting a response. First, try to improve your grammar and punctuation. Second, you could put up any equations or variables you are talking about using LaTeX. Third, upload the paper with a reference to the equation number or figure or whatever. In essence, make it easier for people to help you.
 
From the BCS theory of superconductivity is well known that the superfluid density smoothly decreases with increasing temperature. Annihilated superfluid carriers become normal and lose their momenta on lattice atoms. So if we induce a persistent supercurrent in a ring below Tc and after that slowly increase the temperature, we must observe a decrease in the actual supercurrent, because the density of electron pairs and total supercurrent momentum decrease. However, this supercurrent...
Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
