Inelastic scattering time above the superconductivity transition in two dimensions: Dependence on disorder and magnetic field

Abstract
We calculate the effect of superconducting fluctuations above Tc on the inelastic scattering time, 1/τε, in two dimensions in the presence of the magnetic field. The pair-breaking effect of inelastic scattering is taken into account in a self-consistent way. The field dependence of 1/τε is directly accessible in magnetoresistance measurements.
