Longitudinal Magnetoresistance of Pure Single-Crystal Copper

Abstract
The longitudinal magnetoresistance was measured along the [100] direction of a pure single crystal of copper. The temperature dependence of the saturation ratio, ρ(B=sat.)ρ(B=0), is given between 4 and 35°K. A limit is placed on the diffusion approximation for small-angle electron scattering and it is suggested that the assumption of a relaxation time or of a mean free path parallel to the velocity is not valid for some types of impurity or low-temperature phonon scattering.
