| Abstract: | The longitudinal relaxation time of Spin-Flip Raman scattering (SFRS) in n-CdS is explained in terms of the Elliott mechanism. The energy dispersion of spectroscopic factors of the conduction electrons and the Hasegawa model yield a transversal relaxation time different from the longitudinal relaxation time, but do not reproduce the experimental value. The diffusion coefficient, responsible for the SFRS line width behavior with temperature in n-CdS, is explained based upon hopping effects in the low temperature region. |
