Abstract
Electron-phonon scattering is one of the most fundamental processes in solids. In clean bulk metals, it is well established that the electron-phonon energy relaxation rate, τ −1 e-ph’ , varies as T 3 at temperatures below the Debye temperature, θ D . However, our understanding in lower-dimensional and disordered systems is limited [1]. Experimental studies in metal films have yielded a range of different and conflicting results. Theoretical efforts to explain them have focused mainly on two issues.
