Thermal Conductivity in Nanoporous Gold Films during Electron-Phonon Nonequilibrium
Figure 1
Ratio of wire thermal conductivity, (2), to bulk thermal conductivity versus wire diameter for several different electron temperatures (a) during electron-phonon nonequilibrium when and (b) when . The calculations shown when K, corresponding to an electron mean free path of 45 nm ,agree well with previous results using nm.
