A weak temperature dependence of $\tau$$\epsilon$ for the T > 4K range and a linear temperature dependence of the reciprocal of $\tau$$\epsilon$ for T < 4K have been observed. The linear dependence $\tau$$\epsilon$-1 ≈ T in the Bloch-Gruneisen regime is direct evidence of the predominance of the piezo-electric mechanism of electron-phonon interaction in non-elastic electron scattering processes. The values of $\tau$$\epsilon$ in this regime are in very good agreement with the results of the Karpus theory. At higher temperatures, where the deformation-potential scattering becomes noticeable, a substantial disagreement between the experimental data and the theoretical results is observed.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=1609), last updated on Wed, 26 May 2021 11:17:39 -0500", issn="0039-6028", doi="10.1016/0039-6028(96)00471-2", opturl="https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/0039602896004712", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1016/0039-6028(96)00471-2" }
