Abstract

We have employed noise thermometry for investigations of thermal relaxation between the electrons and the substrate in nanowires patterned from 40-nm-thick titanium film on top of silicon wafers covered by a native oxide. By controlling the electronic temperature (Formula presented.) by Joule heating at the base temperature of a dilution refrigerator, we probe the electron–phonon coupling and the thermal boundary resistance at temperatures (Formula presented.)–3 K. Using a regular (Formula presented.)-dependent electron–phonon coupling of clean metals and a (Formula presented.)-dependent interfacial heat flow, we deduce a small contribution for the direct energy transfer from the titanium electrons to the substrate phonons due to inelastic electron-boundary scattering.
