At high dissipation levels, vortex motion in a superconducting film has been observed to become unstable at a certain critical vortex velocity v*. At substrate temperatures substantially below Tc, the observed behavior can be accounted for…
By studying the temperature-dependent behavior of electron thermal conductivity (k) in a 3.2 nm-thin film, we quantify the extremely confined defect-electron scattering and reveal the intrinsic phonon-electron scattering that is shared by…
We present a theoretical study of electron-phonon scattering effects in thin films made of a strong topological insulator. Phonons are modelled by isotropic elastic continuum theory with stress-free boundary conditions, and the interaction…
The quasiparticle relaxation time in superconducting films has been measured as a function of temperature using the response of the complex conductivity to photon flux. For tantalum and aluminium, chosen for their difference in…
The electron-phonon coupling in ultrafast heating systems is studied within the framework of Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) with coupled electron and phonon transport. A discrete unified gas kinetic scheme is developed to solve the BTE,…
Motivated by the recent heat transport experiments in 2D antiferromagnets, such as La$_2$CuO$_4$, where the exchange coupling $J$ is larger than the Debye energy $\Theta_{\rm D}$, we discuss different types of relaxation processes for…
We have studied the electron-phonon (e-p) interaction in thin Cu and Au films at sub-Kelvin temperatures with the help of the hot electron effect, using symmetric normal metal-insulator-superconductor tunnel junction pairs as thermometers.…
This work reports on the first-time study of the temperature-dependent behavior of the Lorenz number of bio-supported average 3.2 nm-thin Ir film down to 10 K. Due to the strong imperfection-electron scattering, a very large residual…
At micro- to nano-scales, classical size effects in heat conduction play an important role in suppressing the thermal transport process. Such effects occur when the characteristic lengths become commensurate to the mean free paths (MFPs) of…
The electrons and phonons in metal films after ultra-short pulse laser heating are in highly non-equilibrium states not only between the electron sub-system and the phonon sub-system but also within the electron sub-system. An…
We calculate the critical temperature $T_c$ and the superconducting energy gaps $\Delta_n$ of a thin film superconductor system, where $\Delta_n$ is the superconducting energy gap of the $n$-th subband. Since the quantization of both the…
Aluminum scandium nitride alloy (Al1-xScxN) is regarded as a promising material for high-performance acoustic devices used in wireless communication systems. Phonon scattering and heat conduction processes govern the energy dissipation in…
Self-heating normal domains in thin superconducting NbTiN nanostrips were characterized via steady-state hysteretic current-voltage characteristics measured at different substrate temperatures. The temperature dependence and the magnitude…
To date, several experimental groups reported measurements of the thickness dependence of T_c of atomically uniform single-crystalline Pb nanofilms. The reported amplitude of the T_c-oscillations varies significantly from one experiment to…
We report on the direct measurement of the electron-phonon relaxation time, {\tau}eph, in disordered TiN films. Measured values of {\tau}eph are from 5.5 ns to 88 ns in the 4.2 to 1.7 K temperature range and consistent with a T-3…
In order to observe many-body localisation in electronic systems, decoupling from the lattice phonons is required, which is possible only in out-of-equilibrium systems. We show that such an electron-phonon decoupling may happen in suspended…
We report on near normal infrared reflectivity spectra of ~550 nm thick films made of cosputtered transition metal nanograins and SiO2 in a wide range of metal fractions. Co0.85(SiO2)0.15,with conductivity well above the percolation…
Based on the phonon Boltzmann transport equation under the relaxation time approximation, analytical expressions for the temperature profiles of both steady state and modulated heat conduction inside a thin film deposited on a substrate are…
The room temperature thermal diffusivity of high T$_c$ materials is dominated by phonons. This allows the scattering of phonons by electrons to be discerned. We argue that the measured strength of this scattering suggests a converse…
High bias electrical transport characteristics of freely suspended metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are investigated at 250-400K in vacuum and various gases. Self-heating is exploited to examine the temperature dependence of…
