Low-temperature resistance in metals without inversion Center

Abstract

The well known quadratic low-temperature dependence of resistance in ordinary metals habitually serves as the criterium of applicability of the Landau Fermi liquid theory to the description of electron liquid in concrete material. Such a type of behavior is determined by momentum relaxation due to the electron-electron scattering.Here I consider this problem in the metals without inversion center. It is shown that the corresponding scattering time at temperatures much smaller than the spin-orbit coupling is practically temperature independent.
