Abstract

Alfvén-wave propagation in parallel-plate Bi samples has been studied using a 24-GHz microwave reflection spectrometer. The attenuation of Alfvén-wave amplitudes in a magnetic field up to 10 kG was measured at different temperatures ranging from 2.4 to 11°K. From the amplitude of the weakly damped waves, effective relaxation times of charge carriers were measured directly without using any band-structure parameter. The temperature dependence of the effective relaxation times can be fitted to a T-2 variation with different slopes for different crystal orientations.
