A. Jaquier et al., TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENT ELECTRON-SCATTERING RATES IN ALUMINUM FROM HIGH-PRECISION RFSE MEASUREMENTS BETWEEN 0.2K AND 10K, Physica. B, Condensed matter, 194, 1994, pp. 1177-1178
High precision low temperature Radio Frequency Size Effect (RFSE) expe
riments have been made to extract local values of the electron-phonon
and electron-electron scattering rates (SR) in Aluminium. The RF was v
aried to help separate these contributions. Comparison with calculated
values reported in another contribution1 suggests that the phonon med
iated e-e SR dominates the Coulomb interaction. A very sensitive detec
tion system including a digital lock-in amplifier is described.
