Destruction of phase coherence by electron-phonon interactions in disordered conductors

We present a novel formalism for calculating the destruction of phase coherence in weak localization and apply it to the case of electron-phonon interactions. The calculation demonstrates that in the present case quasielastic collisions are negligible, leading to the result that the phase-breaking rate due to electronphonon interactions is identical to the inelastic collision rate.
