We found a response time {\textasciitilde} 800 ps at critical temperature Tc = 3.4 K, which scales as minus 3 in the temperature range from 1.8 to 3.4 K. We discuss mechanisms, which can result in a strong phonon bottle-neck effect in a few nanometers thick film and yield a substantial difference between the measured time, characterizing response at modulation frequency, and the inelastic electron-phonon relaxation time. We estimate the electron-phonon relaxation time to be in the range {\textasciitilde} 100-200 ps at 3.4 K.", optnote="Duplicated as 1341", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=1340), last updated on Tue, 01 Jun 2021 21:56:04 -0500", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/1607.07321v1" }
