Thermal Conductivity in Nanoporous Gold Films during Electron-Phonon Nonequilibrium

Figure 2

Wire thermal conductivity versus electron temperature for several different wire diameters (a) during electron-phonon nonequilibrium when and (b) when . In the case of a bulk, (2) used to predict wire diameter agrees well with experimental data of thermal conductivity data taken on bulk Au at relatively low temperatures.
