Influence of Magnetic Field on Effective Electron-Electron Interactions in a Copper Wire
A. Anthore, F. Pierre, H. Pothier +2
We have measured in a copper wire the energy exchange rate between quasiparticles as a function of the applied magnetic field. We find that the effective electron-electron interact…
Probing interactions in mesoscopic gold wires
F. Pierre, H. Pothier, D. Esteve +3
We have measured in gold wires the energy exchange rate between quasiparticles, the phase coherence time of quasiparticles and the resistance vs. temperature, in order to probe the…
Energy redistribution between quasiparticles in mesoscopic silver wires
F. Pierre, H. Pothier, D. Esteve +1
We have measured with a tunnel probe the energy distribution function of quasiparticles in silver diffusive wires connected to two large pads (``reservoirs''), between which a bias…
Comparison of energy and phase relaxation in metallic wires
A. B. Gougam, F. Pierre, H. Pothier +2
We have measured the phase coherence time, in long, narrow wires of Au, Ag, and Cu, over the temperature range 40 mK-6 K. In the Cu and Au wires, saturates at low temp…
