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…

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…
