- Abstract
- A quantum mechanical study is made of Drude's classic theory of optical conductivity in alkali metals. Drude absorption at a phonon is calculated under the hypothesis of a weak and energy- local pseudopotential. Thence is deduced a relaxation time varying slowly as a function of frequency. A qualitative agreement with experiment is found.
