Abstract

The inelastic Coulomb scattering rate

τ_{in}^{- 1}

of extended electrons by localized ones is considered and shown to be proportional to

T^{2}

(lnT

)^{d + 1}

, where d is the dimensionality. This nonlinear dependence appears surprisingly linear over significant temperature regions, and its magnitude is large enough to account for

τ_{in}

of, e.g. (normal- and super-)conducting oxides.
