Abstract:
The effect of spin-orbit coupling on the usual band theory of electrons
in a lattice is considered. Particular attention is given to the bands
in impurity semiconductors with diamond-type structure. g -values
are calculated for electron states typical of various possible cases
and it is found that different values are obtained according as to
whether the Fermi level is near or distant from a band degeneracy. The
spin-lattice relaxation time is calculated so that the effect of
spin-orbit coupling on the wave functions is included, and times in fair
agreement with those observed in silicon and alkali metals are
obtained.
