Large electron-phonon coupling at an interface.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The strength of electron-phonon coupling in atomically uniform films of Ag on Fe is determined by angle-resolved photoemission from quantum well states in these films over a wide temperature range. As the film thickness is reduced, contributions from the surface and interface should become more important, and, experimentally, a large enhancement with superimposed quantum oscillations is observed. An analysis of the quantum oscillations indicates that this large enhancement is an interface effect.

Interfacial Thermal Transport via One-Dimensional Atomic Junction Model
In modern information technology, as integration density increases rapidly and the dimension of materials reduces to nanoscale, interfacial thermal transport (ITT) has attracted widespread attention of scientists. This review introduces the latest theoretical development in ITT through one-dimensional (1D) atomic junction model to address the thermal transport across an interface. With full con...
متن کاملContribution of Ballistic Electron Transport to Energy Transfer During Electron-Phonon Nonequilibrium in Thin Metal Films
With the ever decreasing characteristic lengths of nanomaterials, nonequilibrium electron-phonon scattering can be affected by additional scattering processes at the interface of two materials. Electron-interface scattering would lead to another path of energy flow for the high-energy electrons other than electron-phonon coupling in a single material. Traditionally, electron-phonon coupling in ...
متن کاملElectron-phonon cooling in large monolayer graphene devices
We present thermal measurements of large-area (over 1000 μm2) monolayer graphene samples at cryogenic temperatures to study the electron-phonon thermal conductivity of graphene. By using two large samples with areas which differ by a factor of 10, we are able to clearly show the area dependence of the electron-phonon cooling. We find that, at temperatures far below the Bloch-Grüneisen temperatu...
متن کاملPlasmonics in graphene at infrared frequencies
We point out that plasmons in doped graphene simultaneously enable low losses and significant wave localization for frequencies below that of the optical phonon branch Oph 0.2 eV. Large plasmon losses occur in the interband regime via excitation of electron-hole pairs , which can be pushed toward higher frequencies for higher-doping values. For sufficiently large dopings, there is a bandwidth o...
متن کاملHeat Transfer Across Metal-Dielectric Interfaces During Ultrafast-Laser Heating
Heat transfer across metal-dielectric interfaces involves transport of electrons and phonons accomplished either by coupling between phonons in metal and dielectric or by coupling between electrons in metal and phonons in dielectric. In this work, we investigate heat transfer across metal-dielectric interfaces during ultrafast-laser heating of thin metal films coated on dielectric substrates. B...
