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…
