The recent paper [Science 382, 907 (2023)] reports on the measurements of shot noise in the heavy fermion strange metal YbRh2Si2 patterned into the nanowire shape. The authors claim that the observed shot noise suppression can not be…
The recent paper (Science 382, 907 (2023)) is devoted to measurements of shot noise to probe excitations in nanowires of the heavy fermion (HF) metal $\rm YbRh_2Si_2$. The authors observed that shot noise is strongly suppressed, and claim…
Strange-metal behavior has been observed in materials ranging from high-temperature superconductors to heavy fermion metals. In conventional metals, current is carried by quasiparticles; although it has been suggested that quasiparticles…
Whereas electron-phonon scattering typically relaxes the electron's momentum in metals, a perpetual exchange of momentum between phonons and electrons conserves total momentum and can lead to a coupled electron-phonon liquid with unique…
We study phonons generated by current in a Pt nanowire, by measuring resistance of another nanowire separated from the first one by an insulating spacer. For thin spacers, the resistance varies almost linearly with current at cryogenic…
The electron dynamics in metals are usually well described by the semiclassical approximation for long-lived quasiparticles. However, in some metals, the scattering rate of the electrons at elevated temperatures becomes comparable to the…

Sufficiently large electric current applied to metallic nanostructures can bring them far out-of-equilibrium, resulting in non-Ohmic behaviors characterized by current-dependent resistance. We experimentally demonstrate a linear dependence…
