Both processes are found to be strongly temperature and excitation density dependent. The analysis of the data with the established phenomenological Rothwarf-Taylor model enabled us to determine the bare quasiparticle recombination rate, the Cooper pair-breaking rate and the electron-phonon coupling constant, {\backslash}lambda = 1.1 +/- 0.1, which is in excellent agreement with theoretical estimates.", optnote="Duplicated as 641", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=1388), last updated on Thu, 13 May 2021 23:33:50 -0500", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/1102.5616v2" }
