Thermal Conductivity in Nanoporous Gold Films during Electron-Phonon Nonequilibrium

Figure 3

Thermal conductivity of porous gold material versus electron temperature for different porosities and different ligament thicknesses. A continued decrease in conductivity is observed with increasing porosity in addition to decreasing diameter, as expected from the expression for kp which is given by (2) and (3).
