Direct temporal measurement of hot-electron relaxation in a phonon-cooled metal island
D. R. Schmidt, C. S. Yung, A. N. Cleland
We report temporal measurements of the electronic temperature and the electron-phonon thermal relaxation rate in a micron-scale metal island, with a heat capacity of order 1 fJ/K .…
