Abstract

We describe an experiment which yields data on the momentum loss and energy loss rate of hot electrons. Experiments on solid and liquid long-chain paraffins show a mobility edge a few tenths of an eV wide in the liquid, and no significant differences between solid and liquid for E_kin≧ 0.5eV.
