Abstract

A determination of the surface scattering, mean free path, and bulk resistivity of electrons in a specimen requires three independent experiments. A new method is proposed making use of the measurement of the first and second terms in the expansion of a decaying eddy current in a thin plate. The decay rates have been calculated and tabulated using the free electron model and assuming an isotropic electron mean free path.
